Steel plant begins production in Afghanistan

The first-ever steel plant in the Afghan capital Kabul and second in the post-Taliban country has been inaugurated and started production, a private television channel reported Tuesday.

Established with 1 million US dollars preliminary investment and inaugurated Monday, the plant produces 100 tons of steel rods daily, Tolo reported in its bulletin.

This is the second steel factory built in the war-torn Afghanistan. A similar plant with more capacity began production in the western Herat province months ago.

Despite continued militancy in parts of Afghanistan, accelerating reconstruction activities mostly by private sector is largely tangible especially in the fields of communication and housing in the country.
