The Baghlani Jadid district is considered among the insecure districts of the province from where insurgents launch attacks in other parts of the province and return back to their safe heavens.

A religious scholar Maulvi Muhammad Aman said division among people on ethnic basis and the rights of minority groups were the problems being confronted to the province.
He said most of the people were locked in personal rivalries and animosity, which lasted for several decades and they were in a useless competition among one another.

The extension of education facilities to far-flung areas are among serious challenges being confronted by the vital sector in Baghlan.
