According to social media posts, fierce fighting  between the two sides is  still going on in different parts of Panjshir Valley. Last night there was a fierce fight between the Taliban and  National resistance Force (NRF), led by Ahmad Massoud and Amrullah Saleh. The Taliban supporters have put pictures on social media where Taliban terrorists were shown posing in the library of Amrullah Saleh’s house  in Panjshir valley where he had released a video message few days back challenging the Taliban and Pakistani state sponsored terrorism.</p>
