We bring to you ground reports from the Iranian port city of Chabahar where India is helping develop the Shaheed Beheshti terminal. Our Deputy Editor, Parul Chandra, was recently in Iran and visited the strategically located port, becoming the first and only Indian journalist to have visited Chabahar so far. SNI also attended the Chabahar international conference while in the port city nestled in the south eastern coast of Iran in the Sistan-Baluchistan province, not too far from the Pakistan.
