India and Afghanistan signed an agreement to build the Shahtoot Dam in Kabul to provide drinking water facility in the Afghan capital.

The Dam will be built on Maidan river (Tributary of Kabul river).

This is the second major dam being built by India in Afghanistan, after the India – Afghanistan Friendship Dam (Salma Dam), which was inaugurated in June 2016.
