However, local residents claim that two other districts Deh Salah and Qasaan have also been recaptured from the Taliban, Afghanistan’s Khaama Press said on Friday.
Taking to Twitter, former acting minister of defence Bismillah Muhammadi said, “Resisting the Taliban terrorists is our duty #Pul-e-Hesar, Deh Salah and Banu districts in Baghlan have been occupied by the resistance forces. Resistance is still alive.”
Currently, Bismillah is residing in Panjshir province, the only region out of the Taliban’s control in Afghanistan. Local residents claim to have killed nearly 40 Talibani terrorists and wounded at least 15.
The terror group on Thursday imposed a curfew in Kabul ordering residents to not leave home after 9 pm except for emergencies.
‘UK will work with Taliban if necessary’
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that his country will work with the Taliban “if necessary”, as the group has regained control of Afghanistan. “What I want to assure people is that our political and diplomatic efforts to find a solution for Afghanistan, working with the Taliban, of course, if necessary, will go on,” Johnson said.
No co-education in universities, first fatwa by Taliban
Taliban officials in Afghanistan’s Herat province have ordered the government and private universities that girls will no longer be allowed to sit in the same classes with boys. Lecturers have reasoned that it is difficult to create separate classrooms due to the limited number of female students in private institutions.
