Afghan Truck Drivers Collect Funds To Repair Roads
Truck drivers have planned to repair damaged roads on highways that have not been constructed by the government.
Afghan truck drivers, faced with roads that have not been repaired by the Ministry of Public Works, have taken the matter into their own hands by collecting 500 Afs from each driver to pay for the road repair themselves.
The campaign began on the Kabul-North highway following attempts to rebuild the destroyed parts of the Kabul-Kandahar highway in Maidan Wardak’s Shaikh Abad area.
Officials of the Land Transport Organizing Affairs Council--a truck drivers' trade group--said that drivers who are a member of the council should pay up to 500 Afs for the reconstruction and renovation of the damaged roads in the country's north highways.
