Hamidullah Fitrat, a Taliban spokesperson, announced that a committee has been established under the orders of the group's leader to address the concerns of residents in areas bordering Pakistan and other neighbouring countries.
Fitrat explained on Sunday that the committee's mandate includes providing essential services, as well as both religious and modern education, to the residents of these regions.
The committee is chaired by Noorullah Noori, the Taliban's Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs, and comprises deputy directors from border provinces, district governors, and representatives from the Ministry of Defence in the border districts.
The Taliban's initiative aims to deliver not only basic services, but also telecommunications, infrastructure development, and access to clean drinking water for the border communities. The group's leadership has instructed the Taliban's Ministry of Finance to ensure the necessary funding is allocated for the committee's activities.
This committee's formation follows an earlier announcement from Pakistan during the Taliban's initial period in power, indicating an agreement to create a committee to address border issues.
