Panjshir Provincial Governor Hajji Bahlol cuts the ribbon at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new $179,000 Bakshikhiel Bridge in Rokha District, Panjshir on Aug 24. The Bakshikhiel Bridge was one of two in Rokha that were destroyed by the floods in June 2007 killing 23 people. “The people of Rokha District have been through a great deal,” said Air Force Lt. Col. Russell Kaskel, Panjshir Provincial Team’s Commander (pictured here). “By some accounts, the number of deaths on 27 June 2007 was the most experienced in one day since the Russians stopped fighting in Panjshir. So, you can understand why this project is so well received.” The bridge is scheduled to be complete in November, hopefully before the first snow. (U.S. Air Force photo by Capt.
