JALALABAD (Pajhwok): The residents of Jalalabad City, the provincial capital of eastern Nangarhar province, have demanded the municipality control the unauthorized hike in ice price.

Municipality officials say they have fixed 40 afghanis price per ice block, but some of the manufacturers sold it for 70 afs, which the public cannot afford.
A citizen of Jalaabad city, Abed Khan, told Pajhwok Afghan News: “The manufacturers raised the price to 70 afs from 40 afs per ice block, which the people cannot afford”.
