Quoted by Taliban-run news agency, BNA, Taliban governor’s spokesman in Sar-e-Pul said floods over the past two days have damaged hundreds of acres of farmland and orchards.
He said that several villages in the Kohistanat district of the province, which connect these villages to the district center, have also been blocked.
Local Taliban authorities in Sar-e-Pul stated that the floods have caused significant financial damage to the residents.
