Islamic Emirate Distributes Land to 9,352 Returning Families in Past Week
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has distributed residential land plots to 9,352 returning migrant families across 11 provinces over the past week, according to an official announcement. The latest allocation brings the cumulative number of families who have received land to 18,904.
Mullah Hamdullah Fitrat, deputy spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, provided the distribution figures as part of an ongoing national resettlement initiative. He confirmed that the process remains active and will continue in the coming days.
Provincial breakdowns indicate that Nangarhar received the largest share, with 3,270 plots allocated to returning families. Zabul province was assigned 960 plots. Both outlets reporting on the announcement agreed on these figures, as well as the overall weekly and cumulative totals.
A minor discrepancy emerged regarding the allocation of 1,260 plots in one eastern province. Pajhwok reported that the land was distributed in Laghman province, while RTA stated the plots were allocated in Logar province. The remaining provinces received varying numbers of plots, with most receiving several hundred each, as the committee continues to process applications and finalize site preparations.
The land distribution program is managed by the Permanent Resettlement and Land Distribution Committee for Migrants. Officials have not specified a final deadline for the initiative, emphasizing that allocations will proceed as infrastructure and administrative processes allow.
