8am: Kabul residents have complained about the lack of proper management in waste collection across the city. They say that the Taliban-run municipality, when cleaning drainage canals, removes garbage, mud, and other impure materials from inside the drains and leaves them piled up along the streets. According to residents, this practice causes unpleasant odors, dirtiness in the city, and an increased risk of disease outbreaks. They emphasize that the Taliban municipality must adopt a clear and organized approach to waste collection to prevent problems for pedestrians and the spread of illnesses.
