The Salma Dam gifted to Afghanistan by India has become a symbol of regular attacks by the Taliban.
This dam also called the Afghan-India Friendship dam, has a water storage capacity of 640 million cubic meters and an irrigation capacity of 2,00,000 acres of farmland from the Chishti Sharif District of Herat to the Zulfiqar area on the Iran Border. This dam has been India's most expensive infrastructural project in Afghanistan in recent years costing 300 million dollars.
The dam has come under regular deadly Taliban attacks recently killing scores of soldiers and damaging the infrastructure. Even today mortars were fires at the soldiers guarding the dam.
