SAR-I-PUL (SW) – Hundreds of the Taliban rebels have surrounded the Sancharak district of Sar-i-Pul province, an official said on Tuesday.

Naqibullah Daqiq, district governor, said in this regard that the government’s alleged negligence might led to fall of the district.
A number of security forces under the siege of the Taliban have said they are facing shortage of food and resources.
