LASHKARGAH (Pajhwok): Residents of the Marja district of southern Helmand province complain they encounter problems in evacuating patients in time to the hospital due to bumpy and broken roads, but officials promise the reconstruction work will begin soon.
Mohammad Rasool, a resident of Marja, told Pajhwok Afghan News there was no asphalted road connecting the district to Lashkargah. The Marja-Lashkargah highway was asphalted in the past, but destroyed by conflict, Rasool said.
He added: “Now that security has returned to the district and the war is gone, we urge the government to reconstruct the road.”
Marjan, another resident, grumbled . . .
