Dedicated cargo scanner machines have been installed at Torkham Border Terminals by the National Logistics Cell (NLC) to scan the import and export cargo vehicles between the crossing point of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

All vehicles of Afghan Transit Trade (ATT) will go through scanning. The practice of scanning is being carried out by the NLC round the clock to facilitate Customs in the timely clearance of import and export vehicles.

The scanning at Torkham has resulted in the seizure of foreign currency worth millions of rupees and a huge quantity of arms and ammunition, gold, narcotics, and smuggled electronic gadgets that were handed to the officials of concerned government departments at the spot.
