The Afghanistan Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (ATRA) has begun the construction of 16 new telecommunications centers in Faryab Province, with an investment of $1.6 million USD.
At a ceremony marking the project’s launch, Faryab Governor Mullah Abdul Ahad Fazli emphasized that these centers will greatly alleviate the telecommunications challenges faced by residents in the province’s districts. He highlighted that this initiative is part of the government’s broader strategy to enhance telecommunications infrastructure in remote and underserved areas, aiming to provide faster and more reliable communication services to these communities.
Governor Fazli also noted that the project is expected to significantly improve the quality of telecommunications services in these regions, addressing long-standing communication issues that have plagued the local population.
Hafiz Mohammad Sabet Numan, head of ATRA’s Northern Zone, provided further details on the initiative, stating that the centers are specifically designed to address telecommunications problems in 13 districts of Faryab that have historically struggled with inadequate communication services. He added that this project underscores the government’s commitment to improving quality of life and developing essential infrastructure throughout the country, particularly in Faryab, thus playing a vital role in enhancing connectivity and bridging communication gaps between different regions.
