Takhar — Local sources in Takhar province report that the Taliban have stationed nearly 300 of their fighters in civilian homes across the Kalfgan and Warsaj districts—a move that has heightened fear and anxiety among local residents.

According to the sources, these forces—equipped with both light and heavy weaponry—were deployed to various homes in these two districts on Sunday, October 11 (19th of Mizan).

Sources add that some local residents protested against this Taliban action, but a number of them were beaten by the group's forces.

Meanwhile, some citizens link the deployment of Taliban forces in civilian homes to the increased activity of anti-Taliban fronts in Takhar province.
