All mines in northeastern Badakhshan province are illegally extracted by armed men and militants as the government collected no revenue this solar year from mining in the province. Local officials say revenue of the provincial Mines Department was zero this year and all income from the natural resources went to pockets of powerful figures and the Taliban.
