Taliban Reopens Salang Tunnel To Vehicular Traffic
The Taliban’s Ministry of Public Works announced on Monday that the Salang tunnel has been reopened to traffic movement except for heavy cargo trucks. Earlier, the Taliban had announced that due to heavy snowfall, traffic movement had been suspended across the Salang tunnel.
The recent snowfall in Afghanistan stopped traffic movement on the highways of several provinces in Afghanistan. However, the Taliban have now said that the highways have been reopened.
This year’s winter in Afghanistan has been unprecedented and the coldest winter during recent decades.
According to reports, dozens of people have died in different parts of Afghanistan due to the cold weather in the past weeks.
