Meanwhile, Taliban rulers issued yet another bizarre diktat as they directed female staff members of the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) to wear the hijab, media reports said.
The direction was issued by the Taliban’s Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice.
The organization shared its direction given by the Taliban with its employees on Monday.
The Taliban came to power in Afghanistan last year on Aug 15.
Since then, the group has imposed several restrictions in the country.

- Surprise move: OpenAI shuts down Sora App
- China’s massive ocean mapping drive sparks global concern over submarine warfare edge
- Middle East crisis: Iran arrested 466 over online activities
