LASHKARGAH (Pajhwok): Construction work on a five-kilometer road, a $3 million project, has been started in the capital of southern Helmand province, officials said on Sunday.
Mayor Matiullah Baher said construction work on a two-kilometer portion of the road was launched today and work on the remaining three kilometers in Mukhtar area would be launched after a month later.
The mayor said fund for the road was allocated as ‘bonus’ after an increase in the municipality’s revenue last year.
He said the 10-metre wide road would be blacktopped seven . . .
