The elders said that at present there is a shortage of about 2500 megawatts of electricity in the country.
Due to which load shedding is going on for 8 to 10 hours in the city areas and 18 to 20 hours in rural areas.
Officials said the government, FC South and Gomal Scouts are working on various projects to end the crisis.
The elders said that there are great opportunities to generate electricity through water in Pakistan, especially in the merged tribal districts.
Elders said, if the government pays a little more attention to this, the long-standing problems of electricity in our districts will be solved.
Elders say that the hydel power plant works in a very simple way, only the water height, quantity and angle of the water pipe have to be taken care of.
He says that if the government invests in this field so six to ten megawatts of electricity can be generated only in their village and from a single drain.
By which the lack of electricity in the country can be eliminated forever.
The area elders thanked Commandant Gomal Scouts that he won the hearts of the people of Tanai and Spin by paying special attention to the project.
