Kabul’s Power Crisis: A City Plunged into Darkness
Kabul residents are grappling with crippling power outages, enduring less than six hours of electricity a day. The situation is causing widespread distress and hardship across the city.
Residents are pleading with the authorities and Breshna, the national power utility, for immediate intervention to alleviate the severe energy shortage. Protests and complaints are reportedly rising.
The severity of the crisis prompted a former Breshna CEO to speak out, highlighting the urgent need for substantial, long-term infrastructure upgrades. He stressed that short-term solutions are insufficient to address the root causes.
This ongoing energy crisis underscores the fragility of Kabul’s infrastructure and the urgent need for investment in reliable power generation and distribution. The lack of electricity impacts all facets of life, from businesses to hospitals, and threatens to further destabilize an already vulnerable city. The situation demands immediate and decisive action from the relevant authorities.
