GHAZNI CITY (Pajhwok): A large number of residents rallied in southern Ghazni City on Wednesday in support of the new mayor, closing the busy Kandahar-Kabul highway.
Nasir Ahmad Lalizai was appointed as Ghazni mayor some two weeks back, but his appointment has drawn instant opposition from some residents. There have been calls for his removal.
Over the past six days, agitators have been on hunger strike, setting up a protest camp in front of the municipality office in Ghazni City -- the provincial capital.
