The Taliban’s Ministry of Interior, in its one-year achievements report from the Traffic Department, announced that during the past year, 181 stolen vehicles across the country were tracked and returned to their owners. However, the ministry did not release the total number of stolen vehicles during the same period, leaving it unclear how many cases remain unresolved.<\/p>\n
In this report, the Traffic Department is referred to by its new name, the General Directorate of Police Traffic, a title recently adopted by the Taliban administration to replace the previous designation. No additional details were provided regarding the volume of vehicle thefts in the provinces or how these cases were followed up.<\/p>\n
The Interior Ministry also claimed that to prevent traffic incidents on highways, 24-hour monitoring has been established. This assertion comes even as traffic incidents in the country have surged to unprecedented levels in recent months, claiming the lives of dozens of residents.<\/p>\n
In the latest incidents, on Monday, 15 Saratan (June 5), two separate accidents occurred on the Kabul\u2013Kandahar highway in the Shahjoy district of Zabul and on the Kabul\u2013Mazar-e-Sharif highway in the Khulm district of Samangan. These events resulted in two fatalities and at least 37 injuries.<\/p>\n
The significant increase in traffic incidents on the country\u2019s main highways has raised questions about the effectiveness of the preventive measures implemented by the Taliban administration\u2014questions that have yet to be clearly answered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
