Sources in Takhar told Afghanistan International that the Taliban has instructed journalists in the province that they are no longer allowed to film and photograph.
According to sources, this order was recently issued by the Taliban's Department for the Promotion of Virtue in Takhar.
Local journalists in Takhar told Afghanistan International that these restrictions have made it difficult for them to report the news.
The Taliban also recently banned live broadcasting of political programmes in domestic media and warned the media that if they do not comply with the orders, they will take legal action against officials and other media workers.
Earlier, Mullah Shirin, the Taliban's governor in Kandahar, had ordered government departments and residents of the province to refrain from taking photos and videos of living creatures.
