Taliban Announces Installation Of 350 Security Cameras In Pul-e-Khumri

On Monday, December 23, the Taliban-controlled Bakhtar News Agency quoted group officials as saying that 350 security cameras had been installed in the city of Pul-e-Khumri, the capital of Baghlan province.

The Taliban's police command in Pul-e-Khumri said that the city is "under extensive security coverage". According to the report, security cameras have been installed in different parts of the city.

In April 2024, the Taliban's Interior Ministry had announced that it had started installing security cameras in Pul-e-Khumri.

The Taliban had previously installed security cameras in Kabul and some other cities.

The Taliban's Interior Ministry had previously said that the installation of security cameras in Kabul and other cities is part of the ministry's five-year strategic plan.

Baghlan province has been one of the main centres of armed resistance against the group after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in August 2021. Former Afghan army commanders who joined the Taliban's military fronts after the collapse of the former government fought against the Taliban for months on end in the foothills of Andarab.
