Local Taliban officials in Herat province have stated that the electricity line imported from Turkmenistan, which was cut off since last night, has not been reconnected yet.
The press office of the Taliban governor in Herat said on Saturday, December 20, in a press release that due to freezing conditions and storms in the “Baqarchar” area, an electricity pole has collapsed.
The Taliban added that efforts to reconnect this electricity line are underway.
This comes as every year during the winter season, due to rain and snow, electricity poles collapse and cause disruptions to the electricity line imported from Turkmenistan.
Concurrent with the disruption of the electricity line imported from Turkmenistan, several residents of Herat province told the Hasht-e Subh Daily that the problem of electricity outages, especially during the winter season, has existed for years, but no serious attention has been given to it until now.
They have asked the Taliban to implement a fundamental solution to prevent the recurrence of this problem and to provide stable electricity for the residents of Herat during the winter season.
