MAZAR-I-SHARIF (Pajhwok): Afghan Local Police (ALP) personnel in northern Balkh province have been under the influence of irresponsible armed militia leaders, said security officials on Wednesday.
Over the past few years, ALP forces have been maintaining security in Sholgar, Chamtal, and Charbolak districts after being created under the framework of the Afghan National Police (ANP).
Despite local residents repeated complaints about what they call improper and illegal activities of ALP, security officials remain tight-lipped on the issue.
Balkh police chief Maj. Gen. Sayed Kamal Sadaat confirmed to Pajhwok Afghan News . . .
