Afghanistan records 30% drop in criminal cases: Official
Afghanistan’s Interior Ministry has announced on Tuesday that the number of registered criminal cases in the war-torn country decreased by 30 per cent from July 2023 to July this year.
“Police personnel have made significant strides in combating criminal offenses, leading to a 30 per cent reduction in criminal cases compared to the previous year,” said the ministry’s spokesman, Mufti Qani.
According to Qani, police forces conducted 250 operations against human traffickers during this period, resulting in the arrest of 76 kidnappers and the deaths of 34 others in clashes with police.
Additionally, Qani reported that 10,564 individuals were arrested on charges related to drug trafficking, sales and purchases. Furthermore, 790 drug factories were dismantled during the same period.
The Afghan caretaker government, since taking power in August 2021, has vowed to crack down on criminal elements to ensure law and order in the country.
