Development projects completed in Takhar and Badakhshan

An Afghan official told the Pajhwok Afghan News (PAN) today that nearly 240 projects benefiting 87,000 families have been completed in Afghanistan’s northern province of Takhar this year. The projects completed include such things as the graveling of 154 km of road, construction of 600 small bridges, laying of 9 km of water supply pipes, implementation of 573 potable water wells, building of 17 small power dams, 127 canals, 39 community centers, and protective walls. The projects were implemented at a cost of $1.8 million in the Farkhar, Wersj, Kalfagan, Rustaq, Chah Aab, Khwaja Ghar, Baharak and Namak Aab districts, as well as in the provincial capital, Taloqan.

In other development news, Afghanistan’s Bakhtar News Agency (BNA) reported last week that 14 new school buildings have officially been opened in Afghanistan’s northern province of Badakhshan. The BNA report stated that the schools were constructed in the Shuhada, Warduj, Baharak, Darayim, Keran wa Menjan, Nasi, Jurm, and Zebak districts. It took one year to build the school buildings. This is good news for a province in which out of the 702 schools it has, 200 do not have buildings, and the students have to study under tents.
