Additional information and Comments

Hi Dear, I just wanted to make a correction here, Salt Range is in Pakistan but not India. As the name suggests, salt range starts in Khwera and that is where the biggest production of Pink Rock Salt happens. Please make a correction to this, as it seems like you have been mis-fed. Thanks.
