Pak-Afghan Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PAJCCI) has welcomed re-launching of Goods-in-Transit-to-Afghanistan (GITA) train after the service remained closed for seven years. PAJCCI Senior VP Zia-ul-Haq Sarhadi has in a statement hoped federal government would withdraw statutory regulatory order (SRO) 121. The steps would allow handing over empty containers in Karachi to shipping lines to let 70% Afghan Transit Trade goods shift to Iran’s Chahahar Port and be attracted back to Pakistan. He said that restoration of GITA train was long standing demand of Sarhad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) and Frontier Customs Agents Group. The decision was hailed by all stakeholders including customs clearing, forwarding, border shipping agents and Afghan traders, who are satisfied over it. Chairman SCCI, Railway and Dry Port standing committee said federal government’s decision will provide cheap, secure and trustful goods transportation facility plus earn millions of rupees revenue for railways and also strengthen provincial economy.
