The Taliban's police command in Panjshir on Monday announced the start of the second round of the process of collecting unlicensed weapons in the province.

Taliban officials in Panjshir announced that no one has the right to keep or transfer unregistered weapons.

The Taliban-controlled Afghan National Radio (ANA) quoted the group's police command in Panjshir as saying that the process of collecting unlicensed weapons and clearing the tinted windows of cars has begun for the second time in the province.

Islamuddin Hammad, director of the Taliban's police command in Panjshir, said that he took the action to "provide security and identify irresponsible gunmen”.

The Taliban have banned the use of unlicensed weapons and military equipment, and have previously repeatedly asked their officials and fighters to hand over unlicensed weapons to the group's relevant institutions.

This comes as the Taliban has launched house-to-house search operations to collect weapons in Kabul and other provinces of Afghanistan for the past three years.
