Govt Seizes Over 330 Acres of Land
[Tolo News] More than 330 acres of land grasped by power brokers in Ghazni province came under the ownership of government, officials in agriculture department of Ghazni province said on Sunday.

The lands were grasped by power brokers and influential people in the province, but were retaken with the cooperation of judicial organisations, officials said.

Efforts are still in underway to free all the other government lands in the province.

Officials in the agriculture department see flash floods and some other natural disasters as the main factors hampering agricultural progress.

"Ghazni has the capacity of more dams to be built. If a number of dams are made, agriculture won't face any water shortage," provincial agriculture department chief, Sultan Hossain Abasyar, said.

Ghazni agriculture department is planning to provide agricultural trainings to farmers and to plant more than one million saplings as part of the department's efforts to expand green zones in the area.
