The Taliban administration in Afghanistan has banned the use of window tint on vehicles. While it is stated that the decision was made for security reasons, it has been reported that inspections have been increased across the country.

VEHICLES ARE BEING STOPPED ONE BY ONE

In images shared on social media, security forces are seen stopping vehicles in traffic to check window tints. It is notable that drivers who do not comply with the rules are required to have their window tints removed.

REASON: SECURITY

The Taliban administration argues that dark window tints prevent the interior of vehicles from being seen, creating security risks. Officials state that this practice aims to make it easier to detect potential threats.

NEW RULES IN EFFECT

While the application is expected to be expanded across the country, it has been observed that the Taliban has recently intensified regulations on daily life.
