JALALABAD (Pajhwok): The mayor called on residents of Jalalabad, the capital of eastern Nangarhar province, to participate in a cleanliness drive he inaugurated on Monday.
The newly appointed mayor, Hamidulalh Afghan, launched the cleanliness campaign with support of civil society activists, asking shopkeepers not to throw garbage into drains and clear footpaths.
“We are closely monitoring encroachments and would take action against violators in accordance with the law,” the mayor said.
However, a shopkeeper, Sifatulalh, said the municipality department had been unable to clean drains . . .
