At least two policemen were killed and one other was wounded in clashes with the Taliban militants in Badakhshan province, a local official confirmed.
Sanaullah Rohani, a spokesman for the provincial police told Ariana News that the clashes broke out after the insurgents attack the Ghaniwi village in the Warduj district of Badakhshan. The militants attacked the village at around p.m. Wednesday and continued until Thursday morning, Rohani said.
According to him, at least three Taliban fighters were killed and six others wounded as back-up troops deployed in the area.
The Taliban militant group yet to make a comment on the matter.
Badakhshan is among the insecure provinces of the country where the Taliban, Daesh, and Al-Qaida groups are actively operating in a number of its district.
Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund says Afghanistan can achieve intellectual, political and economic independence by expanding domestic production, developing key infrastructure and strengthening scientific capacity.
Baradar made the remarks on Thursday in Kabul during a ceremony to launch the rehabilitation plan for the Sana-e-Sabz Industrial Park.
He described the industrial park as one of Afghanistan’s major industrial zones, saying its development would pave the way for hundreds of new factories and create jobs for thousands of people.
Baradar urged the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing and officials overseeing the Green Industries Industrial Park to complete the rehabilitation project according to required standards.
He also highlighted plans to establish the Afghanistan Islamic Culture Printing and Publishing Production Center at the park, saying it would help meet domestic demand for paper and reduce reliance on imports.
According to Baradar, the center’s printing and publishing of scholarly works would also contribute to preserving Afghanistan’s Islamic and cultural heritage while promoting self-sufficiency in the sector.
The Sana-e-Sabz Industrial Park covers 8,200 jeribs of land and currently houses 120 factories, with investment in the park estimated at around $800 million.
