KABUL (SW) – An evident surge in crime rate has caused concerns among Kabul residents.
A number of Kabul residents expressed concern about the poor security situation in the city, saying that although the security forces of the Islamic Emirate claim to be diligent in securing the city, but these efforts have not yielded results.
Emad Udin, a resident of Kabul’s 16th district, said that two days ago, at around 5:30 pm, armed robbers stole his mobile phone and that of his 17-year-old son. He calls on the security officials of the Islamic Emirate to pay attention to this issue.
Sayed Agha, another resident of Kabul, said that nighttime shootings, killings and robberies had increased in the 11th and 15th districts, and that people could not leave their homes after 5 p.m.
Bu, Saeed Khosti, a spokesman for the Ministry of Interior of the Islamic Emirate, denies the increase in crime in Kabul, saying the crime rate has dropped.
Kabul residents are worried about rising crime, as the city has witnessed two roadside bomb blasts and four killings in different parts of the city over the past week.
