Some roundabouts have been given bizarre names like opium, naswar (snuff), potato, gas, chicken, mechanics, butchers and carpenter squares.
Resident Mohammad Idrees, 53, questioned the strange names and said the ‘opium square’ had shops run by drug smugglers and dealers. Such appellations evoke a ludicrous image of the Uruzgan people, he argued.
