  • Traffic Signals Launched in Kandahar City



    The installation of electric traffic signals was launched in Kandahar City on Sunday as part of a joint plant of the traffic department and the municipality.

    The signals were first installed at the Eidgah Gate four months ago and would be extended to all four squares.

    According to Col. Mohammadullah Khan, the signals have been highly effective, as there was a considerable decline in traffic accidents during last four months of this year.

    The traffic department, for the first time, has started issuing driving licenses to women. Seven women were given driving licenses after a test.

    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!
