Registan District,[1][2] also called Reg District (Pashto: ریګ ولسوالی), is one of the 13 districts of Kandahar Province in southern Afghanistan. It is located in the southwestern part of the province, bordering Helmand Province to the west, Panjwai and Daman districts to the north, Shorabak District to the east and Chagai District in Balochistan, Pakistan, to the south.
The population of Reg District was 7,900 in 2006, mostly Baloch and Pashtun tribes. The district center is the village Reg Alaqadari, which is located in the most southeastern part of the district - a few miles north from the Durand Line (Afghanistan-Pakistan border).[3]
Security in and around the district is maintained by the Afghan National Police and Afghan Armed Forces. The district is mostly a desert and there are only a few larger settlements. There is a small official Afghanistan-Pakistan border checkpoint and border crossing in the district.[4]
