Kabul city was designed for about 2 million people but it is now home to around 6million, a figure which the Kabul municipality says has doubled in 5 years. 
Afghanistan was at war for the past 30 years and there was
Very little control over the environment there was no environment protection at all.
 During bitterly cold winters, local people often burn
anything they can get hold of, including old tyres and plastics, they struggle to
keep warm. War may kill thousands of civilians a year in Afghanistan,
but choking air pollution in the capital Kabul is more deadly, experts say more than 3000peoples dies because of air pollution in Kabul every year.
 The air pollution is a silent killer of large number of Afghan citizens and Kabul residents bear the brunt of the pollutions.
  
Considering this fact, Afghan government has to counter pollution more
  
seriously than terrorism. The factories, bathhouses and brick kilns must be
  
standardized and moved outside the city.  Constitutionally, the state is obligated to adopt necessary measures to protect and improve forests as well as the living environment.
  
Instead, politicians succumb to pressure by commercial enterprises and their
  
promises of financial gain. The government fails to impose high taxes on the
  
import of old cars to a handful of influential people who own automobile import
  
businesses. 
 Launching a strong environmental awareness campaign will play
  
an effective role in decreasing pollution and make people more attentive to
  
their surroundings. Citizens should be aware of their responsibilities
  
regarding their environments. Moreover, the government must encourage them to
  
plant trees and prevent them from deforestations. In a nutshell, both the
  
government and nation will have to fulfil their responsibilities regarding the
  
environment and do their best to stop polluting it.
