India is ready to send wheat to Afghanistan via Pakistan in February

India and Pakistan finally arrived at the agreement to transport 50,000 MT of Indian wheat to Afghanistan through land routes that passed the border Attari-Wagah, TOI had learned.
Giant exercises involving thousands of trucks are expected to pass early February.
India and Pakistan have been involved in completing modalities to transport wheat to Afghanistan which is hit by drought for almost 2 months.
The government learned to be submitted to Pakistan that it would be ready to send the first delivery in the second week of next month.
India recently sent a third help batch to Kabul, most of the drugs save on life, by air.
The offer is to provide wheat to Afghanistan through the border with Pakistan, despite unrelenting hostility in relations with Islamabad, it is still the most significant initiative within its reach to the Taliban who returned in August last year to control a very important country.
Pakistan is rare, if ever, permitted transit facilities for Indian assistance to Afghanistan in the past few decades and in 2002 has rejected the same proposal as India when Afghanistan was faced with the same humanitarian crisis.
The Taliban has not only welcomed India’s proposal to send wheat to Afghanistan through Pakistan in this “critical time” but also seek initial approval from Pakistan PM Imran Khan.
Toi was first reported on October 19 that India has contacted Pakistan to carry 50,000 MT wheat to Afghanistan.
In accordance with the understanding of the 2 parties has reached, Afghan trucks operating under the UN World Food Program (WFP) will teach India’s wheat from the Indian-Pakisan border to Afghanistan through the Torkham Pakistani border with Afghanistan.
Pakistan has announced earlier this week that it has put all arrangements and is waiting for the final confirmation from India for the first consignment delivery.
Official sources denied that there was a delay by India while remembering that Pakistan had taken more than a month to approve the Proposal of the Indian government last year.
India still works to resolve the logistical problem involved in carrying 50,000 mt of wheat to the border.
This exercise is increasingly complicated by the upcoming election in Punjab.
India also wants the United Nations to oversee wheat distribution and other assistance to Afghanistan.
The security conference in Afghanistan held by NSA Ajit Doval in November has called for humanitarian assistance to be provided in an innumed, direct and convincing way for Afghanistan and also that the assistance is distributed in the country by non-discriminatory ways in all parts.
