Khyber Agency: The road connecting Shanko with Chura in Tehsil Bara opens to traffic after staying closed for 12 years, according to a news source. Opening of the road shortens the travelling distance to Chura, Tungi and connected areas from 40 kilometres to 12 kilometres.
The road was closed down due to security reasons. It will be rebuilt soon, to improve its current condition. The opening of this road was a longstanding demand of the locals which has now been met, said Assistant Political Agent Asmatullah Wazir.
