Residents of Herat province are voicing their frustration over frequent cuts to imported electricity from Turkmenistan during the freezing winter.
The lack of power has disrupted daily life and left many families struggling to keep warm, as alternative fuel sources remain expensive and difficult to afford for the average household.
Local sources report that while winter power shortages are a recurring issue, the situation is particularly dire this year due to harsh weather and a high number of returning refugees.
Vulnerable families are bearing the brunt of the crisis, unable to use electric heaters to combat the bitter cold.
Citizens are calling on the local Taliban administration to find a permanent solution to the energy insecurity.
The reliance on imported power continues to leave Herat exposed during critical months, and residents are demanding urgent action to ensure a stable electricity supply for the province.
