[Tolo News] A special operation was launched by Afghan cops in northern Faryab province to strengthen government's control over the province, officials said on Tuesday.
The vehicles were seized by the Taliban during presidential campaign, officials said. Intelligence officials in the north have found the operation effective to clear some parts of Ghormach of bad boys. Ghormach is a restive district in Faryab province. Officials said the main aim of the operation is to prepare the ground for reconstruction of ring roads in the province. "In the operation, four Ranger cars, belonging to both police and army, have been retaken by our forces. The Taliban took the vehicles a year ago," Safiullah Sadeq, Intelligence Chief of Zone 303, told TOLOnews.
Afghan cops have recently boosted military operations in some parts of the country to increase pressure on the Taliban and make them leave Afghanistan. | ||
