KANDAHAR CITY (Pajhwok): Local officials say survey, design and land acquisition for Dahla Dam’s expansion – the second largest in Afghanistan – in southern Kandahar province have been completed and practical work on the project would begin soon.
Dahla Dam irrigates seven districts of Kandahar province including Shah Wali Kot, Arghandab, Zheri, Panjwai, Maiwand, Dand and Daman.
Government officials had long promised to raise the dam’s walls by several meters and local people have been awaiting prompt implementation of the project since years.
