Ahmad Shah Baba Mina
History
This project was ready for distribution by the Municipal Office in Kabul and the Afghanistan Central Council of Trade Unions in 1983. The project was for sale just to the Afghan government poor workers and employees. The price of each 180 m was 2.5 US dollars (5200 Afghanis). In 1983, it was just a hostile patch of desert but was then turned into a new town. Today, it is covered by countless recently constructed mud-brick houses, interspersed with the private villas of venturesome repatriates. As of 2019, the area has relatively good infrastructure and sought-after by middle-class residents, although it is somewhat secluded from downtown Kabul. It is mainly populated by ethnic Pashtuns from the provinces east of Kabul.
Services
Most informal residents did not have electricity until 2008. Water supply is provided to the new developments but others access underground water by a pump or by other methods.
