However, in August 2021, the district was one of three districts in Baghlan province that were occupied by anti-Taliban fighters (remnants of the Afghan National Army and civilian resistance fighters), marking the first wave of armed resistance to the Taliban since they seized control over the country. The other areas in which the Taliban were ousted were Dih Salah and Bano .[3]
On 23 August 2021, the Taliban once again captured all three districts that fell to the resistance forces a week ago, including Puli Hisar District.[4] [5]
