The Ministry of Borders, Ethnic, and Tribal Affairs has initiated 35 public utility projects worth 131 million Afghanis across six border districts in Kunar province.
During the inauguration, Deputy Minister Mawlavi Mohammad Ismail Ghaznawi said the projects are being implemented based on a special directive from the Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah protect him) using domestic funds. They aim to improve living conditions in Khas Kunar, Sarkano, Manogai, Shultan, Dangam, and Narai districts.
Governor Mawlavi Qudratullah Abu Hamza stated that residents of these districts have faced many difficulties and that these projects have been launched to address their needs.
The initiatives include the construction of schools, roads, clean water networks, health centers, and other essential infrastructure to facilitate better access to services for the local population.
Deputy Governor Mawlavi Abdullah Haqqani also highlighted the main challenges, including lack of proper roads, clean drinking water, health centers, and school buildings. He said the new projects are expected to significantly alleviate these issues.
