Takhar is among the relatively volatile provinces in northeastern Afghanistan where anti-government armed militant groups are actively operating and frequently carry out insurgency activities.
The volatile Kunduz is bordering Takhar province in the west where the Taliban militants recently launched a major offensive which was repulsed by the security forces.
Meanwhile, the Afghan special forces arrested Taliban’s military chief during a special operation in Kunduz province recently.http://www.khaama.com/taliban-deputy-shadow-district-chief-killed-in-takhar-province-0754
