KABUL (Pajhwok): Due to security threats telecommunication towers remain switched off round the clock in 15 of the most violent districts of the country. In 74 other districts, the services are suspended only at night due to lack of adequate security, Pajhwok Afghan News has learnt.
Via telephonic interviews from January 23 to 30 2017 in all 34 provinces of the country, Pajhwok created a database of telecommunications cuts across the country. The data reveals that threats posed by armed groups resulted in permanent or temporary closure of telecom services across a quarter of the districts in . . .
