The Taliban administration has announced that, following a new directive from its Prime Minister, the process of building residential homes in Kabul and other provinces has been simplified. Citizens can now obtain construction permits after their necessary documents have been approved. This decision comes amid a worsening housing shortage, especially due to the increasing return of migrants in recent years.<\/p>\n
Some residents of the country have welcomed this move as a positive step toward alleviating the housing problem and have called for its swift and transparent implementation. They believe that lengthy administrative procedures and complicated permit issuance processes were major obstacles to constructing private homes in the past.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Taliban administration has emphasized that the \u201cNew Kabul\u201d project is exempt from these principles, with special regulations to be enforced in that area. The details of these special regulations have yet to be clearly shared with the public.<\/p>\n
Urban experts say that while simplifying administrative procedures can address part of the problem, a fundamental resolution to the housing crisis requires transparent planning, management of government lands, and accountability from responsible institutions \u2014 issues that have faced extensive public criticism in recent years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
