Danghara (Tajik: Данғара), is a town in the Khatlon Region of Tajikistan. It is the capital of Danghara District. It is the hometown of Tajikistan's president, Emomali Rahmon as well as the country's first deputy prime minister, Asadullo Ghulomov, and several other senior government officials and members of parliament.[2] As of 2020, the town's population was estimated at 31,100.[3]
In 2012, Radio Free Europe reported that the town might be the target of a plan to relocate the country's capital city. The rumors were spurred by the fact that a new international airport was being constructed in the area. Additionally, a major rail line was rerouted and the town's roads renovated.[4]
