Following the issuance of this directive by the Ministry of Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice and the Ministry of Information and Culture, local authorities in various provinces intensified their surveillance and imposed stricter restrictions on local media. The broadcasting of women's voices and images was completely banned on local media outlets in provinces such as Kandahar, Khost, Balkh, Jowzjan, Takhar, Kunduz, Helmand, and others. These restrictions have led to the arrest and harassment of journalists and the closure of several media outlets.
