KABUL: The Afghan-run caretaker administration has authorised a six-month preliminary plan to build a standard land transport system that may generate up to 30 billion Afghani (340 million US dollars) per year, according to a statement issued by the Economic Commission on Tuesday.

The commission voted to handle land transportation concerns during its weekly meeting on Monday and approved a six-month trial project for the Transport Regulation Commission, according to a statement.

“With the implementation of the six-month trial project,” the statement continued, “about 30 billion Afghani in revenue will be collected annually to add to the state treasury.”

To alleviate poverty and rebuild its economy, the war-torn country has suffered from a lack of modern transportation facilities such as asphalted highways and trains.
