PUL-E-ALAM(SW): Officials in eastern Logar province said that Khoshi district has been granted with a court after 14 years.
Saleem Saleh, spokesman for the governor in Logar, told Salam Watandar that currently half of the districts in Logar were bereft of a court and prosecution office.
He said that the court in Khoshi would be established based on the first 100-day plan of the governor in this province.
He further said that since the fall of the Taliban, this was the first time that a judiciary organ has been set-up here in order to solve people’s disputes in this district.
Local officials in Khoshi district, who did not wish to be named, said that a hundred cases and people’s disputes are often referred to the Taliban self-styled courts.
Earlier, Mohammad Haleem Fedayee, Governor of Logar, told Salam Watandar that people from Kharwar, Charkh and Azra districts preferred the Taliban’s self-styled courts to the government’s courts.
He also said that there were four districts in Logar with no government’s courts.
