The protesting employees said that they have not received their salaries for months and are now facing problems, reported local media.
State Ministry for Peace Affairs, officially known as State Ministry for Peace (SMP) is an Afghan government ministry responsible for peace process focused on ending ongoing wars in Afghanistan diplomatically.
