A total of 45 Taliban militants Tuesday gave up fighting and joined the government-backed peace process in Saripul province with Saripul city as its capital, 350 km north of Kabul.
"With joining these people to the peace process, the security situation will be further improved in Saripul province," provincial police chief Habib Gulbahari said in his speech at a ceremony to welcome the former militants.
The former militants also handed their weapons to police in the ceremony.
Taliban militants are yet to make comments.
Around 4,000 militants, according to Afghan officials, have joined the government-backed peace process and give up fighting over the past year in Afghanistan.
