The first batch of humanitarian aid donated by India had arrived in Torkham dry port in Afghanistan's eastern Nangarhar province via Pakistan, a local official said on Saturday.

"About 2,500 tons of wheat, which is part of 50,000 tons of wheat donated by India and laden in 42 trucks, arrived in Torkham port Saturday morning. The shipment will be transported to different provinces and distributed among the economically vulnerable families," the official told reporters.

The Pakistani government recently agreed to allow the overland transportation of humanitarian assistance from India to Afghanistan.
