Criticism Over High Costs and Pashto-Language Sign at the Entrance Gate of Bamiyan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Local sources in Bamiyan have reported that the renovation and repainting of the entrance gate of the city has been carried out at a considerable cost.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bamiyan municipality announced that this action was taken to improve the city\u2019s appearance and to welcome visitors, and that damaged parts of the gate have been restored and repainted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, this action has faced widespread criticism from citizens.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some residents say that at a time when economic and livelihood problems are at a high level, allocating significant funds for such projects is not justifiable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In their view, priority should have been given to the basic needs of the people, including employment and livelihood support.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the other hand, the use of the Pashto language on the entrance sign has also triggered strong reactions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Citizens say that this action reflects a biased approach and ignores the linguistic identity of the Persian-speaking majority of the region.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In their view, disregard for linguistic diversity, alongside economic pressures, has intensified public dissatisfaction and highlighted the need to reconsider such decisions.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
