Residents of Zabul expressed concern about the caretaker government's neglect of the province's historical sites and monuments, saying some are at risk of destruction.

They added that if the government does not pay attention to the historical monuments, these sites will completely collapse.

The historic Bala Hissar, Shah Alam Khan Fort, Sheikh Mati Shrine, and Ghazi Minaret are among the historical sites and monuments in Zabul.

"This is the Shah Alam Khan Fort, which even foreign tourists come to visit. It must be protected from destruction," said Mohammad Noor, a resident of Zabul.

"We ask the Islamic Emirate to pay attention to the historical monuments of our province and prevent their destruction," said Sayed Wali, another resident of Zabul.

Meanwhile, the head of Information and Culture in Zabul said that the restoration of historical monuments is one of the priorities for the Islamic Emirate.

Rahmatullah Hemad, the head of Information and Culture in Zabul, said: "Since the Islamic Emirate came to power, 18 historical sites have been registered, and we take serious attention to the country's historical monuments."

According to the Zabul Department of Information and Culture, the Islamic Emirate has renovated numerous historical monuments in various provinces over the past two years and prevented the smuggling of hundreds of other historical artifacts abroad.
