KHOST CITY (Pajhwok): The circulation of the local currency has been jacked up to counter the use of the Pakistani rupee in southeastern Khost province.
On Saturday, dozens of youth staged a peaceful rally, urging the people to do transaction in the Afghan currency instead of Pakistani rupee.
Talib Mangal, the governor’s spokesman, told Pajhwok Afghan News representatives of government departments met on Saturday and decided to buy and sell goods using the afghanis.
Anyone violating the decision would be referred to judicial organs . . .
