The large-scale electricity supply project in the districts of Gusfandi, Sozma Qala, and Sangcharak in Sar-e Pol province, with a budget of 880 million Afghanis, has officially begun. Taliban officials state that the project will be completed within the next three years and that, upon completion, tens of thousands of families in these areas will gain access to electricity.<\/p>\n
According to the provided information, once the project is completed, 7,500 families in Gusfandi, 6,600 families in Sozma Qala, and 13,500 families in Sangcharak will benefit from the electricity services. Residents of these districts have faced severe electricity shortages in recent years, often relying on basic, rudimentary energy sources.<\/p>\n
This project is financed by the Taliban administration and implemented by a private company. Officials noted that approximately 500 people have been employed directly and indirectly during the execution of the project; however, no further details have been disclosed regarding contract transparency or the monitoring mechanisms related to the project’s implementation.<\/p>\n
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Mullah Mohammad Younus Akhundzada, Acting Minister of Water and Energy of the Taliban administration, Mawlawi Ahmad Shah Din Dost, Governor of Sar-e Pol, Mullah Nik Mohammad Malang, the provincial police chief, and several local residents. The development of electricity infrastructure in northern provinces comes amid ongoing public demands for the fair distribution of public services and the acceleration of infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
