Although the fire broke out during the night, extinguishing efforts and an investigation continued into the morning.<\/p>\n<p>Qari Samiullah Rasouli, the district governor of Yaftal-e-Payan, stated that combined teams from the police command, intelligence units, and the Taliban&#8217;s morality enforcement agency were dispatched to the scene around 5 a.m. to begin their inquiry.<\/p>\n<p>Negligence in electrical networks and the lack of safety infrastructure have long been major concerns in Afghan cities. However, Taliban-run agencies have yet to implement serious preventive measures.
