FARAH CITY (Pajhwok): Ten provincial government departments in nearly a dozen districts of western Farah province have long been without buildings of their own.

According to information, the departments which are being run from rented houses include the refugees, disasters management, urban development and lands, martyrs and disabled, environmental protection, justice, industry and commerce, administrative reforms, mines and petroleum and the Chamber of Commerce.

Local residents complain they have been facing problems while visiting departments which lack own buildings because such offices are frequently moved from one place to another.

Mohammad Younis, a Pul-i-Bagh area resident, told Pajhwok Afghan News that people had to search for a department after its location was changed.

“It makes people wandering”.

“Administrative offices should have their own buildings and specific addresses. “Searching theses offices and not finding them is a big problem,” said Mohammad Dawood, a resident of Shivan village in Bala Buluk district.

These residents asked the government to solve the problem of lack of buildings of administrative units.

On the other hand, government officials accepted this problem.

Farah environment protection director Hafiz Burhanuddin acknowledged to Pajhwok that working in private houses wass difficult.

“Because there are residential houses around us, it is a problem”.

“Some equipment get broken when they are transferred from one place to another and it makes people searching for a relocated office,” the refugees department head, Mufti Ahmad, explained.

Information and Culture Director Abdul Hai Sabawoon said efforts were underway to solve the problem. “Some departments have no buildings of their own and they provide services from private places, but this issue was mentioned in the administrative meeting of the province to share it with the relevant ministry”.

Land plots for construction of buildings for some departments have been allocated, but lack of budget has stalled the project.
