The Department of Refugees and Repatriates of Balkh province has allocated around 3,000 acres of land to returning Afghan refugees, officials said, as the distribution process continues.

So far, more than 27,000 families have been registered in the province, with each set to receive one plot of land. Over 300 families have already been given land in Maulana Jalaluddin Mohammad Balkhi township.

Returnees welcomed the initiative but noted that lack of permanent housing, unemployment, and limited access to health and education remain major challenges.
