Taliban Authorities Announce Water Transfer from Qoshtepe to Lorutape in Mazar-i-Sharif
The Taliban administration in Balkh has announced that the process of transferring water from the Qoshtepe canal to the Lorutape area in the city of Mazar-i-Sharif will soon commence. According to the administration, this initiative aims to provide drinking water to the residents of this area.
Hafez Abdulrahman Hamid, the mayor of Mazar-i-Sharif, stated that the Taliban administration in Balkh has decided to extend two pipelines from the mentioned canal to Lorutape to meet the water needs of the residents in this region.
He added that with the implementation of this plan, a large number of Lorutape inhabitants will gain access to safe drinking water.
The Qoshtepe canal is one of the major water transfer projects in northern Afghanistan, previously highlighted by the Taliban administration as one of their large-scale initiatives. However, access to safe drinking water remains a fundamental challenge in many urban and rural areas across the country.
