[Tolo News] Many reconstruction projects will be launched in Dasht-e-Archi district in northern Kunduz province after the area is cleared of beturbanned goons, provincial officials said Tuesday.
Dasht-e-Archi is one of the turbulent northern districts in Kunduz province. The district was under the Taliban control for a long time, but recently Afghan cops made significant advances in security in the district and cleared it of beturbanned goons. Construction of a road that connects the district to the bustling provincial capital is already in progress, officials said. "Insurgents had previously planted roadside mines along the route to the district and now Isaf and Afghan forces are demining the area," Kunduz Governor's Spokesperson, Mahboobullah Saeedi told TOLOnews. Reconstruction projects have started in many districts in the province and the projects that had been stopped for security reasons will be resumed, officials said. Officials in Kunduz province called for more reconstruction projects in the province. | |
