SHARANA (Pajhwok): Local tribal elders say roads connecting three districts with the provincial capital of southeastern Paktika province remain blocked for past 17 years, a reason essential goods are sold at a higher rate in local shops.
Malak Zarin, a tribal elder from Terwa district, told Pajhwok Afghan News that roads between Terwa, Wazi Khwa and Warmami districts and Sharana, the provincial capital, remained blocked for long years.
He said the road blocks were a reason food and other items were sold at an atrificially increased rate in the mentioned towns near the Pakistani border . . .
