News Paper: Business Recorder
ISLAMABAD (July 20 2010): Pakistan will not deploy its forces for security of vehicles to be used in Afghan-Pakistan Transit Trade, but satellite tracking technology will be used to ensure the security of these vehicles. Every vehicle, which will pick cargo from Wahgah or Karachi Port will have an electronic-chip which will be monitored through satellite, instead of deployment of security personnel on a route which is difficult to police, sources in the Interior Ministry said.
The tracking system will not only help secure these vehicles but also help curb smuggling. In the past products transited through Pakistan disappear in the Pakistani markets thereby hurting local business community and economy of the country. Afghan drivers will be allowed to enter/exit Pakistan on permits, identified by the biometric devices installed at the entry points.
