KHOST CITY (Pajhwok): Tribal elders and youth in southeastern Khost province on Tuesday protested against land grabbing and acquiring state land through long-term contacts.
They said no one will be allowed to usurp state lands or capture them through long-term contacts.
Afzal Khan, a tribal elder, said 10 years back a person in Mazar-i-Sharif, the capital of northern Balkh province, exchanged his 210 acres of personal land for a state land in Khost City, which was an illegal practice.
He added no one will be allowed to usurp Khost valuable lands though one or another name . . .
