Pakistan is constructing a new border terminal in the Killa Saifullah area of Balochistan, near the Afghanistan border.

The purpose of this terminal is to monitor terrorist activities, control illegal trade, and prevent the illegal movement of people.

The Nation newspaper reported on Tuesday, July 9, that this terminal will be used as an alternative route for trade with Afghanistan and Central Asia.

Pakistani officials have not officially commented on the construction of this terminal.

The terminal will be built on 35 hectares of land at a cost of over 24 billion Pakistani rupees, and it will take 60 months to complete at the border point within Pakistan.

The Nation wrote that once completed, the terminal will facilitate services in all official and operational offices, including customs, the Federal Investigation Agency, the National Database and Registration Authority, the Anti-Narcotics Force, and intelligence and security agencies.
