The acting Taliban government has suspended the operations of the insurance companies in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
In an official letter sent to the insurance companies, the acting government has announced that all the activities of the public and private insurance firms must be halted until a future notice.<\/p>\n
The letter says the spirit of the insurance industry is under discussion in the Science Academy of Afghanistan to decide whether it is against the Islamic practices or not.<\/p>\n
