KABUL (SW) – Interior Minister Mohammad Massoud Andarabi has announced sacking of at least 186 officials on complaints by transporters against highway extortion.
The Minister of Interior made this announcement on his Twitter handle. He said the senior deputy interior minister was working with teams tasked with sketching reforms in this regard.
This followed protests by drivers and transport unions against extortion on the highways.
The protest of drivers and transport unions as well as the fire at Islam-Qala customs have led to price-hike in many basic commodities.
