JALALABAD (Pajhwok): Two powerful individuals involved in land-grabbing have been detained in eastern Nangarhar province, an official said on Wednesday.
It comes after President Ashraf Ghani during a visit to Nangarhar province on Jan 10 ordered local police officials to provide a list of land grabbers as soon as possible.
The president had said if the provincial police chief could not stop land grab incidents, he had to be transferred.
Nangarhar police chief Col. Fazl Ahmad Shirzad told Pajhwok Afghan News that after the president’s order, they had started arresting land . . .
