KABUL (Pajhwok): The Afghanistan Steel Mills Union on Tuesday warned the country’s steel and iron industry would collapse if unauthorized import of iron from neighboring nations was not stopped.
The Union’s Head Parwiz Khawaja told reporters here that daily up to 1,500 tons of iron tools entered the country illegally.
“If this practice is not sopped, the country’s iron producing sector will collapse. Over $500 million investment has been made in this sector and nearly 20,000 people are working in the country’s steel industry,” he said.
He said companies that import illegal iron at . . .
