Kabul: 12th July 2021 (TDI) Kabul Municipal Development Program is working on a roadwork project in Khushal Khan Mena so that the residents of this locality live peacefully.
For many decades the Khushal Khan Mena neighborhood had to breathe dust and deal with air pollution. The local residents complained about the streets especially on rainy days because the streets get filled with mud and water. In summers there was a lot of dust that polluted the air and streets. The residents also complained that many children suffered from respiratory illnesses and sore throats due to air pollution. The KMDP project includes 14 kilometers of drains, 33 culverts, and 642 meters of sidewalks, in order to benefit 7,502 residents. The KMDP project is supported by the Afghanistan Reconstruction Fund Trust that is managed by the World Bank. As a result of this initiative, there has been less garbage and air pollution in the streets.
