After Taliban's takeover, piano and other musical instruments destroyed in Afghanistan

The Taliban on Tuesday announced the formation of the government in Afghanistan. The Taliban has named Mullah Hasan Akhund as the acting Prime Minister, while the group's co-founder Abdul Ghani Baradar has been appointed as the Deputy Prime Minister. Amid Taliban rule, shocking visuals have been reported from Kabul's National Music Institute as the Taliban has reportedly destroyed musical instruments including piano and drum set. The pictures were shared by an account that had the name 'PanjshirProvin1.' The account no longer exists on Twitter. The pictures that were posted on the now-deleted account featured drums and piano in damaged condition. The pictures shared by the singer Aryan Khan shows his damaged piano and shattered drums. The images posted on social media have revealed the real picture about how the Taliban will place the same harsh rules that they had imposed, when they previously ruled the nation. At that time, music was banned and women were not allowed to work or study. The women were permitted to leave the house only when a male relative accompanied them. Everything that happened caused a lot of pain and anger.
