In the latest emerald auction in Panjshir province, 2,639 carats of emeralds worth over three million Afghanis were sold to domestic traders. The auction was held with the presence of local merchants.<\/p>\n
Saifuddin Laton, spokesperson for the Panjshir governor, announced that these precious stones were sold following established procedures within the framework of an official auction. According to him, the proceeds will be deposited into the relevant accounts.<\/p>\n
He quoted Mohammad Agha Hakim, the governor of Panjshir, who stated that the local administration, overseen by the Taliban authority, emphasizes technically and legally managing mineral extraction and strives to ensure transparency in mining operations.<\/p>\n
Panjshir is considered one of the most important regions for emerald mines in Afghanistan, and in recent years, the extraction of these precious stones has become a significant source of local income. However, experts have consistently stressed the need for transparency, independent oversight, and accountable management in the mining sector to ensure that the revenues benefit the local population.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
