He said the price of credit cards of all telecom companies had increased.

Jamshid Popal, a resident of the Taimani area of ​​Kabul, said the price of credit cards had gone up as 50 afs card of Roshan was sold for 60afs.

He called on telecom firms to make available credit cards in the market without any delay.

Wasiullah, a resident of Rahman Mena in Kabul, said he bought a Roshan network card of 500 afs for 550 afs.

Abdul Mansoor, a resident of Deh Afghanan area of ​​Kabul, who was busy selling cards, said the telecom firms had stopped issuing credit cards to market since last five days.
