TERINKOT (Pajhwok): After six days of closure, protestors have reopened the Uruzgan-Kandahar highway for traffic, officials said on Thursday.
On Friday, hundreds of residents closed the highway in protest against what they called growing insecurity and other problems.
They alleged insecurity on the highway had increased, with officials at checkpoints extorting money from people. The security forces were also accused of forcing people to work for them.
However, the demonstrators reopened the Uruzgan-Kandahar highway late on Wednesday when passenger vehicles were allowed to ply the road.
