Explaining the situation, Mohammad Ali Ahmadi said that the civilians were traveling to the capital city of Ghazni province from Jaghori District who were stopped on the way by Taliban and kidnapped on gunpoint.
He further said that Taliban occasionally establish check posts on this way and harass people.
Answering the question, have security forces taken any action against it?
He said “Security forces have only established security check points on the way but they are either not available in the check points or not caring.”
