KABUL: (MEP) At least six people, including five students, have lost lives after the vehicle they were traveling in plunged into river in eastern Nuristan.
The students were returning home after taking part in the university entry test in Parowan, the province capital, late Friday afternoon, a local official said.
According to the reports students came from Nangaraj High School of Noorgaram District. The incident also left three other students wounded.
Nuristan is one of the remote provinces of Afghanistan where locals complain that government has not paid attention to the reconstruction.
Most of its bridges are still the old ones in damaged condition. Only few roads have been paved in Nuristan and most of its highways are still dust roads.
