Qarghayi District

Qarghayi District

Qarghayi District has 60 villages. It is the largest district in Laghman Province, and is located 30 Km from the provincial centre - Mihtarlam. It borders with Mihtarlam District to the North, Alingar District to the North-East, Nangarhar Province to the South and Kabul Province to the West. The population is 86,900 (2006) - 60% Pashtun, 20% Tajik and 20% Pashai. There has been some tensions between the Pashai people and the neighbouring comunities. The district center is the village of Lalkhanabad, located between the Kabul River and its tributary - the Alingar river.

Most of the arable land in this district has not been drought-affected, so the agriculture is the main source of income. The health care is in relatively better condition than the other districts. During the wars 40% of the houses have been destroyed and the people, who fled are now returning.
