Local officials in Herat province have announced the launch of a preliminary survey for the Pashtunband border road. According to them, the project is being implemented by the Herat Department of Rural Rehabilitation and Development, and road paving is expected to begin after the completion of technical assessments.
Local authorities say the project is part of broader development efforts aimed at improving infrastructure in Herat’s border areas and could play an important role in facilitating mobility for residents of these regions.
