Pakistan launched the Pakistan-Iran Transit Corridor last month at a ceremony in Karachi, where Director General of Transit Trade Customs Sanaullah Abro and Director Transit Muhammad Rashid flagged off the initiative. Islamabad had announced six transit routes, prompting shipping lines to reroute thousands of containers to Pakistani ports like Karachi and Gwadar.
However, despite these announcements and reroutings, three weeks later, not a single transit point was operational. This indicates a significant gap between the official declaration of the corridor's opening and its actual functional status, raising questions about the immediate operational readiness of the new trade routes.
