The Taliban-run caretaker administration, has approved a six-month tentative plan that would create a standard land transport system generating up to 30 billion Afghanis (340 million dollars) annually.

The Economic Commission of Afghan said this in a statement on Tuesday.

In its weekly meeting on Monday, the commission decided to solve land transportation problems and approved a pilot project for the Transport Regulation Commission.

This is applicable for six months, the commission said in the statement.

“With the implementation of the six-month pilot project, about 30 billion Afghanis in revenue, will be collected annually to add to the state treasury.

The war-torn country has suffered from a lack of modern transport systems such as asphalted highways and railways to alleviate poverty and rebuild its economy.
