KABUL, April 25 (Xinhua) -- Construction of a plastic production factory worth 3 million U.S. dollars has begun in east Afghanistan's Ghazni province, the state-run Bakhtar news agency reported Friday.
According to the report, the provincial authorities would fund the essential project. The factory will be capable of producing four to five tons of plastic daily and create jobs for thousands of local people.
The Afghan interim government plans to launch more development projects across the war-ravaged country to address economic challenges and create more jobs.
