“The Prime Minister of the Taliban government has issued a new decree allowing housing construction with the direct approval of mosque imams and local representatives. This significant decision comes as rental costs in Kabul have increased dramatically due to returning migrants.
Based on this new directive, applicants can begin their construction processes by presenting traditional or legal property documents. Meanwhile, municipal authorities have been strictly instructed to identify prohibited areas and map out flood paths within a month to prevent future disasters.
The decree aims to simplify the housing process for recently returned refugees and internally displaced individuals across the country. However, several urban planning experts believe that relying heavily on local approvals could create serious long-term challenges for proper city development.
