Chahardara governor Hayatullah Faqiryar admits that Taliban controls more than 80 percent of the district.
Faqiryar said the lack of local government in the district is painful.
According to Faqiryar government is not active in judicial sectors of the district but is also non-existent in the local governance sectors.
“Because the Taliban are heavily active in the area, local governance is paralyzed. Residents of the district come to the Taliban instead of reverting to the government. We are suffering because of this situation,” Faqiryar said.
Residents of the district are asking central government to address their problems.
“We ask the government to enable judicial sectors to solve administrative problems of the people,” said Ghulam Nabi a resident.
Meanwhile doctors at a health center in the Chahardar district, the front line of the war, are treating people with inadequate medical equipment and they complain of a shortage of medicine and medical tools.
“Even though we hear the sounds of battle every day, even the sound of the missiles, we continue to treat the wounded people. Our lives are in danger here,” said Ali, a doctor.
“We face lack of medicine and medical equipment and therefore some the wounded are not treated. We want government to mobilize and equip us,” said Shafaq director of the health center in Chahardara district.
It is almost two years that the security situation is bad in Chahardara and residents are frustrated.
“We are tired of war and we want peace,” said Shikh Mir a resident.
Chahardara district is located 30km away from the center of Kunduz city where Taliban have establish their base. But the government has control only areas close to the district building.
