MAZAR-I-SHARIF (Pajhwok): Media persons and activists in northern Balkh province say they cannot easily find access to information which has created multiple problems for them.
They say a majority of government institutions particularly security organs refrain from sharing information with media people in time.
Media persons and activists demanded of government officials to share information in line with the relevant law with journalists swiftly when needed.
Journalist Rahimullah Zwak told Pajhwok Afghan News that access to information had been limited that created problems for journalists and that put journalists in deep trouble.
He said when journalists refer to government institutions for information, majority of officials deny to appear for interview, sharing their views or providing information regarding relevant matters.
