KABUL, Dec. 20 (Xinhua) -- People are busy working at a coal market in Kabul, capital of Afghanistan, as the chilly winter is approaching in the war-ravaged and mountainous country.
Central heating systems can be barely seen in houses in Afghanistan's major cities, including Kabul. Afghans often use the traditional coal stove to warm their houses during winter.
