Two neighbouring countries agreed a six-month pause on a disputed border crossing. Trade will continue, but only on a shorter list of goods, while surveyors recheck the markers that both sides say have shifted since the last joint reading.
Truckers who use the post were the first to ask what the shorter list contains. Fuel and medicines stay. Fresh produce, which spoils if a truck waits, is still being argued. A decision is promised before the weekend queue builds.
What happens next
Neither foreign ministry described the pause as a settlement. Both called it a way to keep the post open while the argument about a few hundred metres of ridge is handled by people with instruments rather than by speeches.
Local markets on both sides depend on the crossing for goods that are ordinary there and scarce a hundred kilometres inland. That is why a full closure was never the proposal on the table.
