The elected members of the local government at a meeting here demanded that the provision of electricity from the Golen Gol powerhouse should be ensured in every nook and corner of Upper Chitral. The meeting was attended among others by members and nazims of the five village councils of Mastuj Subdivision, including Khuz, Parkusap, Mastuj, Parwak and Sonoghur.
The participants of the meeting stated that since 2015 when the only powerhouse supplying electricity to Upper Chitral was washed away by floods in Reshun, the whole area had been without electricity. Now when the 108 megawatt Golen Gol powerhouse in lower Chitral was ready to start functioning, the government seems not in a mood to provide electricity from this facility to Upper Chitral.nt.
