PUL-I-KHUMRI (Pajhwok): Substandard materials are being used in the construction of a road in the capital of northern Baghlan province, public representatives alleged on Sunday.
Provincial Council (PC) member Bismillah Atash claimed 70 percent of the shingle being used in building the Qahwa Khana road in Pul-i-Khumri was mountain soil.
While inspecting the project, he told Pajhwok Afghan News: “The contractor and other officials concerned should be grilled on the issue.”
The contract is worth 15 million afghanis, according to the council member, who believed that corruption was the . . .
