KABUL, 09 November 2021, (TON): At least three people were killed in two separate blasts in Jalalabad, the capital city of eastern Nangarhar, local officials confirmed.
According to the officials “the blasts took place in PD 2 of Jalalabad.”
Nangarhar has recently seen a surge in hit-and-run killings as well as with other security incidents. The provincial residents urged the current government to form a proper plan to take security measures in the province.
Bahir, a resident said “the people are very upset by the existence of armed groups. If they (armed men) get into a rickshaw, they should face legal action.”
A video went viral on social media showing a number of gunmen firing from a rikshaw at passengers in a car. The provincial governor’s office in a statement instructed the rikshaw-drivers to not transport armed people, including the forces of the Islamic Emirate. The statement warned that those who violate the order would be punished.
