The mayor of Mazar province said that the work on 24 big projects is going to start in this city in the coming year. 

“We have a plan for 24 big projects that we will start in the city,” said Naqib Ullah Tariq, mayor of Mazar-e-Sharif. 

Meanwhile, some Mazar residents welcomed the Municipality works in the city but said this is not enough. 

“In the city, they have had good activities--they work on roads and side roads,” said Fayaz Kazimi, a Mazar resident. 

“In some areas, the roads are damaged and we called on the Municipality to pay attention in this regard,” said Abdul Basir, a Mazar resident. 

According to the municipality of Mazar-e-Sharif, the lack of corruption and timely collection of taxes are the main reasons for the increase in income in the past year.
