FAIZABAD (Xinhua) – Two people were killed and six others injured after an avalanche struck their vehicle in Afghanistan’s northern Badakhshan province, a local official say. The disaster took place due to heavy snowfall in the province’s Raghistan district, provincial director for Natural Disaster Management and Humanitarian Affairs Mohammad Kamgar said. Heavy snowfall and chilly weather have cut off Badakhshan’s provincial capital Faizabad city to some districts over the past couple of days, Kamgar said, adding efforts were underway to clean up the roads linking districts to Faizabad.
