The Taliban has once again imposed a strict restriction as the group banned families and women from outdoor dining at restaurants in an Afghanistan province, media reports said.
An official confirmed today that women and families will be restricted from restaurants with gardens and green spaces in the northwestern province of Herat, reports Daily Mail.
The Taliban came to power in Afghanistan in 2021 following the withdrawal of foreign forces.
The group captured Kabul on Aug 15 after the former government collapsed, commencing yet another period of Taliban rule in the war-hit nation.
The latest crackdown on women's rights follows complaints from religious scholars and members of the public about men and women mixing together in such places, an official told Daily Mail.
The Taliban banned women from attending university, among several other steps.
