[edit] History
Delaram was initially a city in Khash Rod District in Nimruz Province, but was administratively transferred to Farah Province in 2007 for a short time as a separate district. It was transferred back to Nimruz Province and remained a district. Delaram transitioned to Farah Province in 2007, following a period of violence between ISAF and the Taliban, in which the Afghan Border Police was brought in to restore order.[1]
