KABUL, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) -- Afghan authorities have launched the construction of seven key development projects in the southern province of Uruzgan, as part of the government's broader efforts to improve infrastructure and living standards across the country, the state-run Bakhtar news agency reported Wednesday.
According to the report, the projects include the building of water canals, retaining walls and small dams, which are expected to enhance irrigation, prevent soil erosion and provide better access to clean water for local communities.
