All government vehicles being registered: NSC

KABUL (Pajhwok): The National Security Council (NSC) on Wednesday said all government and military vehicles are being registered as part of reforms being brought to the security sector.

Tariq Aryan, strategic communications section head at the National Security Council (NSC), told Pajhwok Afghan News the government launched the registration drive for improving security situation throughout the country.

He said all military vehicles in and outside the government’s framework would be registered and asked government officials to return extra vehicles they possessed to the government because they were meant to be used in people’s service not personal.

He said: “We would name no one here, but the registration is part of the reform process that will take place across the country.”

All vehicles with the ministries would also be registered especially those not registered after 2001 and the process would help the country’s security situation.

It comes three days after intelligence forces surrounded the house of their former boss Gen. Jurrat for several hours in Kabul after he did not deliver some government vehicles in a 72-hour deadline set by the Ministry of Interior.
