Housing Settlement Inaugurated for Returnees on 18,000 Jeribs in Nangarhar

The Ministry of Urban Development and Housing has officially inaugurated a new residential settlement and initiated the distribution of housing plots across 18,000 jeribs of designated land in Nangarhar province. The initiative is specifically designed to accommodate Afghan families who are returning to the country from abroad.

During the inauguration ceremony, Minister Mawlawi Najibullah Hayat Haqqani reaffirmed the Islamic Emirate’s firm commitment to ensuring fair land distribution and providing dignified living conditions for all returnees. He stated that addressing the immediate and long-term needs of returning citizens, alongside allocating residential land equitably, remains a top priority for the current administration.

Mawlawi Haqqani also addressed the broader regional context, calling on neighboring countries to treat Afghan returnees in strict accordance with established humanitarian standards and Islamic principles. He emphasized that the government is actively coordinating its efforts to facilitate the smooth and sustainable reintegration of displaced families into their home communities.

Ministry officials further confirmed that additional land allocations and comprehensive technical surveys for future returnee settlements are currently underway in both Nangarhar and Laghman provinces. These preparatory steps are intended to identify suitable sites and systematically expand residential infrastructure to support the long-term settlement of returning populations across the eastern region.
