Overview
Overview
Massacres of civilians by the Taliban were reported by Human Rights groups. There is a gravel surfaced airport near the city. The road between the provincial capital Bamyan city and Yakawlang district was asphalted in October 2012, reducing the four-hour distance to 80 minutes. The 98-kilometre road cost $70 million (3.6 billion Afghanis), the Asian Development Bank and Japan jointly funded project, and was implemented by a Korean road construction company in a period of four years.
