Bans on Keeping Dogs, Playing Ludo, and Women’s Movement.
The Taliban Department for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice in Sholgara District of Balkh province issued a new notice announcing a series of social restrictions and prohibitions.
According to the notice, activities previously considered part of daily life are now banned.
These include keeping so-called fighting dogs, playing Ludo and “Bajal,” sitting in cemeteries, and unnecessary wandering in streets and alleys.
The Taliban say these decisions were taken within the framework of their social and religious policies.
According to official sources, the stated aim is “full compliance with Islamic Sharia and the preservation of religious values.”
However, the new restrictions have triggered reactions among citizens and social activists.
Some have described them as limiting individual and social freedoms.
This action comes as the Taliban had already imposed extensive restrictions in social, cultural, and educational spheres.
The new bans in Sholgara District represent another example of policies aimed at controlling daily behavior.
These policies have a direct impact on people’s daily lives and social freedoms.
