On March 23, 2025, a technical meeting, led by Mufti Shamsurrahman, Director of National Economy and Infrastructure, was held with representatives from the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing, the Directorate of National Economy and Infrastructure, and the Directorate of Planning and Design of Construction Affairs of the General Directorate of Administrative Affairs to discuss the draft master plan for Pul-e-Alam City in Logar Province.
The meeting began with the recitation of the Holy Quran in the conference hall of the General Directorate of Administrative Affairs. Then, Mufti Shamsurrahman stated that an urban master plan is an important element for the long-term growth and development of an urban area. It serves as a fundamental guide for the city’s future growth, management, and regulation. He added that preparing an urban master plan is vital not only for city order but also for environmental protection, economic growth, and safeguarding the rights of future generations. Without a master plan, cities face chaos and significant challenges.
He further stated that the policy of the Islamic Emirate requires attention to quality in addition to urgency in documents and emphasized that the master plan is a crucial and fundamental issue and should be organized properly to avoid harm to citizens during its implementation.
Rahmatullah Qaderi, Director of the National Comprehensive Plan at the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing, then provided information regarding the necessity of completing the plan and urged the National Economy and Infrastructure Directorate to process the master plan as soon as possible to address the people’s problems.
During the meeting, a representative from the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing delivered a presentation on the draft master plan for Pul-e-Alam City, Logar Province. Participants then provided their opinions and suggestions to further enrich the plan.
It was decided in the meeting that the participants’ opinions would be considered in completing the draft master plan, which would then be submitted to the Prime Minister’s Office for approval.
The meeting concluded with a prayer for goodwill.
