KABUL(BNA): Officials from the Gardez Municipality have announced the construction of 90 stalls for handicraft sellers in the city’s center. This project, costing $49,000 USD, aims to support local artisans and boost the city’s economy.
Gardez Mayor Mawlawi Habib Rahman Mansoor reported to BNA that the purpose of these stalls is to create urban order, provide secure and better facilities for handicraft sellers, create job opportunities, and prevent unauthorized street vendors from operating on the main and side streets and pedestrian paths.
According to the Gardez Municipality officials, these stalls will be provided free of charge to those who previously sold goods on handcarts along the sidewalks.
On the other hand, Gardez residents and handicraft sellers have welcomed this initiative by the municipality, stating that these stalls will be beneficial for their business and economic growth.
Municipal officials also assured citizens that similar important steps will be taken in the future to improve urban order and facilities.
