Logar

Capital Puli Alam
Population 349,000
Area 3,880  km²

Logar Province, located 100 kilometers south of Kabul, is a Pashtun area periodically crossed by nomadic tribes. Logar is lined to the south and east by the rugged Kharwar mountain range where miners dig for copper. Agriculture drives the economy in this region, and its farmers cultivate a variety of grains and fruits. Although residents have limited access to basic services, Logar Province has seen a considerable amount of reconstruction since the fall of the Taliban. Every district now has a health facility, and the province has recently seen the completion of a major road, several schools, radio stations, and municipal buildings.
