Afghanistan’s Ministry of Communication and Information Technology has announced the activation of 31 new telecommunications towers across Logar province in the past year, bringing the total number of active towers in the central province to approximately 107 and extending coverage to an estimated 90 per cent of the population.
The announcement was made by ministry spokesman Enayatullah Alokozai, who noted that the new towers have been deployed across multiple districts including the provincial centre, reaching areas that previously had no telecommunications services. Most of the active towers provide both voice and internet services.
Logar, situated southeast of Kabul, is one of a number of provinces where the ministry under Taliban administration has continued infrastructure expansion despite the country’s constrained economic environment and heavily restricted international engagement.
Editor’s Note: Afghanistan’s telecommunications sector continues to operate and expand under Taliban governance, with Etisalat Afghanistan and Afghan Telecom among the active operators. Coverage expansion data from individual provinces is rare and worth tracking as a baseline indicator of how connectivity is developing across the country in the absence of formal international reporting frameworks.
