JALALABAD (Pajhwok): Civil society activists on Wednesday asked the government to find a permanent solution to the electricity problem in eastern Nangarhar province.
Cables carrying electricity from Kabul to Nangarhar have been cut loose in Ozbin area of Sarobi district over the past few days, plunging most of Jalalabad city into darkness.
The power utility, Da Afghanistan Bareshna Shirkat (DABS), says local residents had cut off two supply lines in protest against the lack of electricity in their area.
