Hamisha Bahar Broadcast Network Resume Operations After Taliban’s 3-Week Ban
Afghanistan Journalists Center announced on Sunday that Hamisha Bahar TV and Radio stations have resumed operations in Nangarhar province.
Taliban shut down the operations of the broadcast network about three weeks ago and had also insulted the employees of the TV and radio stations.
According to Afghanistan Journalists Center, Atal Stanekzai, the director of Hamisha Bahar Radio and TV, confirmed the reopening of the stations and said that the Taliban’s directorate of information and culture allowed the resumption of the broadcast network’s operations at around 4pm local time on Sunday.
Sediqullah Qureshi Bedloon, the head of the directorate of information and culture in Nangarhar, said that the operations had been temporarily shut down due to “violations".
