KABUL (Pajhwok): Nearly 100 metric tonnes of goods were transported through railways from four Afghan ports last week, the Ministry of Public Works (MoPW) said on Monday.
On its X handle, MoPW spokesman Mohammad Ashraf Haqshenas wrote these transportations took place from August 29 to September 4.
It said 69,516 tonnes of goods were transported through Hairatan Port, 5,806 tonnes via Aqina Port, 11,429 tonnes through Torghundi Port, and 13,176 tonnes via Khawaf-Herat, totaling 99,927 metric tonnes.
