KABUL - Afghan Taliban cut power supply to 11 provinces of Afghanistan by destroying the transmission lines in the North.
Electric power imported from Uzbekistan was drastically cut in 11 Afghan provinces, including Kabul, after Taliban destroyed two power pylons in the northern province of Baghlan,” according to a statement by the power supply company De Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS).
“The incident happened approximately at 10 a.m. on Sunday when the two pylons were blown up by explosives,” DABS spokesman Wahidullah Tawhidi said. A large portion of the electricity is used by factories in Kabul’s industrial parks in the east of the city.
Some Kabul residents blamed the government for its failure to build sufficient infrastructure.
