LASHKARGAH (Pajhwok): The governor of southern Helmand on Saturday said security forces vacated 150 posts to Taliban militants without any resistance after some powerful individuals asked them to do so.
Hayatullah Hayat, at a meeting with tribal elders, said most of the security forces, particularly police, were being controlled by some powerful figures who could order them for any action.
He added 10,000 Afghan National Army (ANA) personnel stationed in Helmand were residents of other provinces but the same numbers of police were local residents.
