SHARANA (Pajhwok): Protesters in southeastern Paktika province reopened the Paktika-Ghazni highway conditionally on Sunday, ending a week-long blockade.
Hundreds of enraged people blocked the Paktika-Ghazni highway and closed the provincial council (PC) office for few days to protest increasing insecurity on the road.
The protestors claimed civilians and government officials were daily killed or kidnapped by Taliban insurgents on the highway.
On Sunday, top provincial austerities visited the protesters hailing from Paktika, Paktia and Ghazni provinces and promised to meet their demands . . .
