JALALABAD (Pajhwok): The annual revenue of the Canal Department of eastern Nangarhar province grew from 15 million afghanis to 70 million afghanis after the government reclaimed most part of the canal’s usurped land, local officials say.
The Taliban would each year collect up to two billion afghanis in taxes from farmers cultivating the canal’s land, but now the rebels have been driven away, said Nangarhar governor Shah Mahmood Miakhel.
He said it was highly important to cut off income sources of the Taliban and it . . .
