According to the source, only responsible security personnel have been allowed to operate in the city at night and the Taliban must refrain from using mobile phones while on duty.

Cargo trucks were also not allowed to enter the city and they must use the ring road as in the past and if they do not comply with the above provision, they would face legal action, it added.
