a number of politicians in Afghanistan’s Wolesi Jirga (lower house of parliament) have said that the Taliban have put Badghis province under siege by closing the routes.
"We hope that our local officials, our security officials and particularly our officials in the center and the security agencies focus on this issue to avoid increasing fragility in the situation," said Abdul Baseer Osmani, a member of parliament from Badghis.
"The situations are very bad, even our babus government employees, the businessmen or our residents, can't commute on the highway due to the presence of the Taliban," said Ziauddin Akazi, a member of parliament.
The deputy governor of Badghis meanwhile said that the government is trying to clear the highway of the turbans.
"There are threats on the highways, but the government is trying to remove the threats so that our countrymen can travel with confidence and peace," said Faiz Mohammad Mirza Zada, the deputy governor of Badghis province.
But, local security officials in Badghis have said that the presence of Taliban on the highway will not be for long term.
