Bamyan-(Sep.7)
Residents in the district of Warse in central Bamyan province had been made to leave their residential areas due to intense drought they were suffering this year, a local official said on Wednesday.
Warse district chief, Slaiman Merzaye told Wakht News Agency large number of the people had fled their areas due to harsh drought they were suffering as they had not been still cooperated by any organs concerned or the central government.
He said the residents were also made to walk along distance of more than one hour to get access potable water.
Meanwhile, Taher Ataye, Provincial Director of Agriculture and Livestock of Bamyan told Wakht News Agency that the residents of Warse district had widely suffered from this years’ intense drought compared to other districts of the province.
He said despite wide attempts by them to ask the related organs for help in the connection, no organs had still assisted the drought stricken people and prevent them to flee other areas.
No state-run organs or non-governmental institutions had still addressed the problems of the people of the district, the agriculture chief complained.
This is worthy mentioning that the people of Bamyan had mostly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry that the recent drought had remarkably harmed their economy.
