-------------------------------
The city Zaranj is the capital of the (Afghan) province of Nimruz located in the southwest of the country close to the
(Iranian) border. It has approx. 70,000 inhabitants and is of significant importance to the trade with neighbouring Iran
and Pakistan. It is an ancient historic city which was known as "SARANG" in Sanskrit during Hindu times and later came
to be known as ZARANG and now Zaranj. A new highway is being built between Zaranj and Delaram by the Indian
Government's Border Roads Organisation at a cost of about US$80 Millions (expected to go up to a quarter billion due to
security concerns)to open up a deep sea port (From Iranian Cha Bahar Port)access to Afghanistan from its main Highway
system ringing Kabul, Kandahar, Herat, Mazar-i-Sharif and Kunduz.
