MAZAR-I-SHARIF (Pajhwok): The Amu River damaged and submerged tens of acres of more land in Shortepa and Kaldar districts of northern Balkh province, local residents said on Saturday.
They said they had shared the issue with the government several times, but failed to elicit a positive response. They accused the central government of being irresponsible in this regard.
Officials in charge of the river bank said they were prepared for emergency situation, but permanent infrastructure required resources.
The Amu River begins from Pamir Mountains and enters Turkmenistan after a long journey . . .
