Danghara is a town in the Khatlon Province of Tajikistan. It is the capital of Danghara District. Danghara is the hometown of Tajikistan's President, Emomali Rahmon as well as the country's first Deputy Prime Minister, Asadullo Ghulomov, and a number of other senior government officials and members of parliament.[1] In 2012, Radio Free Europe reported that the town might be the target of a plan to relocate the country's capital city.

Development and rumors of the city as the new national capital

As of January 2012 ongoing construction of a new international airport, rerouting of a major rail line, complete renovation of the town's roads and extensive building construction had spurred rumors that Danghara might become the nation's new capital city.[2]
