    Tree plantation drive beings in Helmand


    LASHKARGAH (PAN): As many as 100,000 trees will be planted in the southern province of Helmand, the provincial governor said as he launched the greening initiative on Tuesday.
    As Gulab Mangal planted a tree in Lashkargah, the provincial capital, he called on the municipality and citizens to make efforts to protect the saplings.
    Provincial agriculture department head, Abdullah Ahmadzai, said the proposed 100,000 trees would be planted in the city and its surrounding areas.
    He added his department had a stock of 114,000 fruit and fruitless saplings, which would be dispatched to Lashkargah and several districts of the province.
    He said farmers had also brought their saplings to the bazaar for sale.

    A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

    For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


    The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!
