The local administration of Panjshir province has announced the launch and implementation of 30 canal construction projects aimed at improving irrigation for agricultural lands.
Saifuddin Lutan, spokesperson for the governor, revealed that the projects will be supervised by the administration and financed through a budget exceeding 50 million Afghanis from both national and international sources.
The projects will span the provincial center and several districts, with the potential to irrigate hundreds of acres of farmland upon completion. Currently, nearly a thousand local workers are engaged in the construction process.
According to the Panjshir Economic Department, these projects are part of a broader sustainable development program focused on agriculture and livestock in the province. Notably, in the past two years, 25 additional irrigation canals have been constructed, significantly enhancing local livelihoods.
