Amid the power crisis, various factories have been closed down in Afghanistan’s Kandahar province due to lack of electricity, Pajhwok Afghan News reported.
Since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in mid-August, many electricity supply projects have been halted for the past four months.
Officials at Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) said that the main reason for halting these projects is the suspension of funds from the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank and the United States development aid to Afghanistan, Tolo News has reported.
Turkmenistan’s 500 KV electricity transmission to Afghanistan is one of these projects, which was transferring electricity from the border of Turkmenistan to Sheberghan’s Aqina port and then to the Alvazun plain
