Tension prevailed at the border on the third consecutive day on Sunday as the administration directed residents of villages near the border to vacate the area.
The gunfight prompted the Pakistani authorities to shut down the Bab-e-Dosti border gate in Chaman -- which leads from Balochistan into Kandahar, and is one of only two major crossing points.
Deputy Commissioner Chaman Qaiser Khan said that residents of Kali Luqman, Kali Jahangir and other villages bordering Afghanistan had been directed through loudspeakers and pamphlets to immediately vacate their areas and move to safer locations.
