“Everyone talks about Indo-Pak trade, but very few question insufficient facilities at the dry port. The growth in bilateral trade is directly linked with infrastructure facilities, which we lack,” said Aftab Ahmad Vohra, chairman of Pak-India Trade Promotion Committee, while talking to The Express Tribune.

Sirsiya is now known for its Inland Container Depot (ICD) or Dry Port that is very close to the border with India and connected to Raxaul railway junction in India across the border.
