Hamidullah Nisar, head of Ghazni's Information and Culture Department, noted that such projects help drive the country toward self-reliance and further strengthen economic stability.

Local businessmen described this as an important step toward economic growth and expanding business opportunities, calling for more similar projects. Hafizullah, a businessman in Ghazni, said the project will provide better facilities for merchants and the public, supporting business growth and creating jobs. Another businessman, Nasir Ahmad, expressed hope that conditions will be created for implementing more such projects, adding that Ghazni, as a first-tier province, deserves more attention.
