Kabul–Jalalabad Highway Closed After Heavy Rain and Landslide

DID Press: Afghanistan’s Taliban-run Ministry of Public Works has announced the closure of the Kabul–Jalalabad highway in the Tangi Abrisham area following persistent rainfall and a landslide.

The ministry said on Tuesday, October 13, that operational teams were at the site working to clear debris and reopen the road.

It urged drivers to avoid using the route until further notice.

The closure disrupts traffic along a key highway connecting Kabul with Jalalabad, the capital of eastern Nangarhar province.
