Karzai addresses police graduation ceremony in Bamyan 28.07.2005 President Hamid Karzai visited the central Bamyan province on Wednesday to attend a police graduation ceremony. He also inaugurated a local telephone exchange. Heading an official delegation on the Bamyan visit, Karzai also listened to problems of the people through local elders. The president also went round a local girls' school in the central province. Earlier, Bamyan officials complained about the glacial pace of the reconstruction process in the province and said repairs of clinics, roads, hospitals and schools had made little progress. In his address, Karzai urged the graduating policemen to serve the nation to the best of their ability as dwellers of Bamyan, as indeed all Afghans, had suffered lots of troubles in the past. The president said it was his second trip to Bamyan after his takeover as president. He remarked the city had changed a great deal in terms of development, compared to its status two year ago. Ministers of defence, public health, communication, urban development, public works, education and advisors from several ministries accompanied the president. During the presidential visit, provincial police set ablaze three tons of drugs seized over the two years as part of the government's campaign against narcotics. << | >> |
