Shocking Truth: Pakistan's Charamang Valley remains without electricity for past 12 years
Islamabad: Charamang Valley in Pakistan has been without electricity for the past 12 years as authorities failed to repair the transmission line damaged in militancy and war on terrorism, media reports said.
Local residents told Dawn besides other basic infrastructures such as roads and health and educational institutions the electricity system in Charmang Valley comprising over 90 villages had also been damaged during the militancy and war on terrorism in 2008 and 2009.
They said that many parts of the valley had been without power supply since then.
More than 190,000 people of the region have been facing power cut trouble for the past several years.
Hussain Ahmad Khan, an elder of the area, told Dawn News that most villages in this remote area were located in mountains and unavailability of electricity had also affected the economic activities in the area.
