Herat Governor Noor Ahmad Islamjar also said that the people of Herat look at the TAPI project as a window of hope and we consider this project to be historic.

Islamjar promised that the Herat local government would make the land acquisition map available to the TAPI project as soon as possible.
The idea for the project was discovered in 1997 during the previous term of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, but its practical work in Afghanistan has not yet begun due to security problems and land acquisition.The post Practical work of TAPI project will begin in the next six months first appeared on Ariana News.
