SHIBERGHAN (Pajhwok):  A security meeting on Tuesday observed that northern Jawzjan province was struggling with shortage of military gear and personnel.
The meeting between a delegation of the Interior Ministry and local officials took place in Shiberghan, the provincial capital.
Lotfullah Azizi, Jawzjan governor, after briefing the delegation about the law and order situation in his province, suggested that it was necessary to establish another military corps in the presence of the 209th Shaheen Military Corps in the north.

KABUL (Pajhwok): The Chief Executive Officer (CEO)’s office on Monday said there were no technical problems in issuing electronic national identity cards and some political differences in this regard between the president and the CEO had been resolved.
The Council of Ministers had recently decided to launch the cards’ distribution on August 19, but the president opposed the decision because August 19 is Afghanistan’s Independence Day which should be specialised for praising the Afghan security forces.
