Badghis officials claimed on April 24 that Taliban cut Turkmenistan's imported power to the northwest province over the past 10 days as the group has targeted pylons and they refuse to allow technical teams to reconnect the wires, reports Tolo News. “It is 10 days that the electricity has been cut by the armed oppositions in Juma Bazar area in Badghis and so for no coordination has been made to allow our staff to repair the pylons,” said Mohammad Tahir Azimi, the provincial head of electricity department. According to local officials, Taliban has demanded power for 20 villages under their control in Moqo District, which has been accepted but the process of connecting electricity to those areas need more time due to lack of facilities.
