KABUL( SW): A number of civil society activists in southern Ghazni province accused the government of indifference regarding security situation.
The activists at a press conference today (Saturday) in Kabul said that the government sent a delegation to Zabul and Ghazni a while ago where they promised to conduct military operation in Khak-e-Afghan district in Zabul but no operation has been conducted so far.
They warned that if the government did not pay attention to ensure security at Ghazni-Kandahar highway or launch a mop-up operation in Khak-e-Afghan district, Daesh would cause a great catastrophe.
Ghulam Sakhi Khaled, one of the civil society activists, said that Daesh has been increasingly influencing in Khak-e-Afghan district.
Khaleqdad Akbari, a member of Ghazni provincial council and a member of the delegation sent by the government to Ghazni and Zabul, however told SalamWatandar that based on the decision by the delegation, the mop-up operation has already started in Khak-e-Afghan district.
He said that once Khak-e-Afghan is cleared of the enemy, the threats would vanish and the kidnapped would also be freed from the district.
It is said that Khak-e-Afghan district in Zabul and Nawa district in Ghazni have long been under the Taliban and other terrorists groups’ control.
According to some reports, all the passengers who were kidnapped by the Taliban and Daesh are being held in Khak-e-Afghan district in Zabul.
