GHAZNI CITY (Pajhwok): Residents of southern Ghazni province urge the caretaker government to resume work on incomplete projects in the province.

Sher Ahmad, a resident of Ghazni City, told Pajhwok Afghan News work on some huge and small schemes initiated by the previous government was halted after the formation of the new government.

Mohammad Ashraf, a resident who worked on reconstruction projects during the previous government, said currently he was unemployed due to the stoppage of work of the projects.
