AIBAK (Pajhwok): Truck drivers who transport coal from the Shababak coalmine in northern Samangan province on Sunday went on strike, vowing to continue their protest until extortion on the road was stopped.
Ghazanfar, one of the protesting drivers, equated the prevailing situation on the road between Mazar-i-Sharif, the capital of northern Balkh province, and Dara-i-Sauf Bala district as “the law of jungle,” a phrase he used to describe incidents of lawlessness.
He alleged security officials on the road asked for money from truck drivers at several places. In Taqchi check-point . . .
