Balkh heritage sites, monuments on the verge of destruction

12 Jun 2021 - 19:53 MAZAR-I-SHARIF (Pajhwok): Due to ongoing insecurity, a number of heritage sites and monuments are on the verge of destruction in northern Balkh province, officials, provincial council members and cultural figures say. Sham Mohammad Hakim, director of the Cultural Heritage Preservation Authority in Mazar-i-Sharif, told Pajhwok Afghan News that some archeological sites in Balkh were under serious threat of destruction. He said many historic monuments were damaged due to negligence of the warring sides. “It is unfortunate that in some places our ancient assets are being used as battlefields, for example, the Afghan forces have set up a coordination center at the historic Bala Hissar fort in Balkh, ” he said.
