JALALABAD (Pajhwok): Residents and officials of eastern Nuristan province have urged the incoming government to pay the province special attention because it had been ignored in the past.
Abu Bakar, a resident of Paroon, the provincial capital, said Nuristan was a mountainous region, where most dwellers were associated with the livestock business.
He said Nuristanis had no option but to raise household animals for profit and suggested that mining projects could also help generate jobs for the locals.
