Meanwhile, the Ministry of Interior spokesman, Najib Danesh in this connection said that the Kabul security plan, in contrast to other plans is more comprehensive and complete and this plan, has focus on strengthened of intelligence agencies, the establishment of coordination among security agencies and the identification of more security challenges, and no doubt it would have direct impact improving security situation, especially in Kabul city.
Abdul Basir Mujahid, spokesman for the Kabul Police Chief Command, said that our top priority always been ensuring country’s security and people, and this plan will cover the entire city of Kabul, even districts, and by implementing of that the citizens will be witness of better security.”
The increase in barriers in Kabul will not disturb the people, and the security plan will, on the contrary will be in the interest of the people, and efforts to secure the lives and the properties of the citizens will be increased, Mujahid asserted.
If we do not bring reform in the ranks of the armed forces, not change the thoughts of the people about to the enemy, these security plans and paying attention to the diplomatic areas will not cure any harm, because along the security forces people should also cooperate in maintaining security in the country.
