“All our colleagues have received the requests of the oppressed people of Parwan and we will address them. It is a matter of pride that in the existing situation, a small positive step is a great assurance for the people. I assure you that not only in Charikar, but also in other distant areas, if it is not handled through official branches, God willing, we will try to provide services to all of you through unofficial branches,” Ahmad Walid Amarkhil, the commercial deputy of AWCC for Kabul zone, said.

Local officials of Parwan said that they are ready to provide all telecommunication companies, especially AWCC, with the necessary facilities to provide better services.

Their second service is to create an official branch for the people of Parwan. People were facing many problems in the sales area. With Allah's help, they solved these problems and established an official branch, and now people can easily solve their problems,” Atiqullah Faizani, director of communications and information technology of Parwan province, said.

Parwan residents also welcomed the fact that AWCC has expanded telecom and internet services in the province.
