The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) has recently reported that the trade agreement between the Taliban and Pakistan does not allow Indian goods to be imported into Afghanistan by land.
In a series of tweets Saturday, SIGAR reported the decrease in the import of Indian goods to Afghanistan.
According to the estimates of the World Bank, after the Taliban takeover, the border traffic of goods into and out of Afghanistan has decreased between 40 and 50 percent compared to last year, SIGAR added.
According to SIGAR, 1.8 million tons of coal have been exported to Pakistan since the beginning of the Taliban rule, which shows a 16% growth in the export of this product, that is the highest figure in the last two decades.
The Special Inspector General has further added that this volume of coal is obtained from mines where children work.
Meanwhile, coal is one of the major goods exported by the Taliban to Pakistan in an unprecedented manner.
