Kabul: The Taliban government in Pakistan has set up a commission to purge the ranks and bring reforms within the military in northern Afghanistan, media reports said on Monday.

The head of the corps in Mazar-e-Sharif, Attaullah Omari, said the commission has pledged to work on recognizing and punishing those who misuse the name of Islamic Emirate in the north, reported Tolo News.

Officials, who attended the conference, said the commission will work to prevent infiltrators into the armed forces from Islamic State terror group.

“The commission is formed [with representatives from] three military organizations, the provincial head of intelligence will lead the commission in every province, because the purging is the duty of intelligence,” Shir Mohammad Sharif, the general director of borders at the Ministry of Interior, was quoted as saying by Tolo News.

The Taliban forces in Afghanistan captured power on Aug 15 after the foreign forces started leaving the country.
