Regulatory Commission Inspects 89 Billboards and Signs in Kabul’s Fifth District

The Commission for the Rectification of Signs and Advertising Billboards conducted an inspection campaign in the educational sector of Kabul’s fifth district, reviewing a total of 89 commercial signs and advertising billboards. The operation was carried out under the oversight of the Deputy Ministry of Publications, which operates within the Ministry of Information and Culture of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.

During the monitoring effort, officials evaluated the content of the displayed materials to ensure alignment with established regulatory standards. A primary focus of the inspection was the prioritization of national languages on public and commercial signage. Representatives from the Kabul Municipality’s cultural department accompanied the commission to assess compliance across local businesses and educational institutions in the area.

Following the review, municipal cultural officials urged business owners and residents to adhere to the commission’s guidelines. They emphasized the importance of using national languages on storefronts, advertisements, and public notices, noting that compliance supports broader efforts to preserve linguistic standards in urban spaces. The officials requested continued cooperation from the local business community as regulatory activities expand.

Authorities indicated that the inspection campaign is part of an ongoing initiative and will be extended to additional districts in the coming weeks. The commission plans to conduct similar evaluations in other commercial and educational zones to ensure uniform adherence to content regulations across the capital.
