TALOQAN (Pajhwok): Residents have hailed improved security on the highway linking northern Takhar and Kunduz provinces.
In the not-so-distant past, the Kunduz-Takhar highway was dubbed as the road to death because of growing insecurity.
As a result of a surge in targeted killings and extortions, residents complained, that travel on the road had once become hellishly difficult.
Hidayatullah, one of the drivers, said he had been using this road for years. Violent and criminal incidents spiked in recent years under the former government. He claimed to witness all too often extortions and murders of passengers at the . . .
