ASADABAD (Pajhwok): Carpenters in eastern Kunar province have asked the government to grant them permission for transporting pieces of furniture.
Around 400 factories have been functional in Kunar, where wooden desks, cabinets, doors, windows and other products are made. But a ban on their transportation from Kunar has hit the industry.
Carpenters warned if transportation of their products was not allowed out of Kunar, they would stage protests in different provinces.
Abdul Rahim, who works in a small factory in Asadabad, said they made furniture and other items using broken parts of trees . . .
