Mr Akbari, head of the public works department in Herat discusses some of the thing his department has done in the last year.

These projects were accomplished during last year:

Preparatory works, asphalting and demolition of buildings for enlarging the roads of the highway from the finance department to Military Corps No 4 were carried out. Furthermore, the road from the finance department to the Park Hotel was repaired and asphalted.

Kargar Park, which had been one of the biggest recreational parks of the city and had been completely destroyed, was repaired in addition to its hotel. Some saplings were planted and a deep well was dug in this park. In addition, a 300-metre stone wall was constructed around the park and then it was rented.

The depots of transport of Pashton Pol have been covered with 2,000 square meters of (?granite) and turnery machines in this location have been repaired.

The tank of Pashton Pol, which was broken down, has been repaired and now it is being utilized.

The Sar-e Jangal building, which was completely destroyed, has been reconstructed. A pump station was also constructed there.
