8am: Several Kabul residents say that in recent days, electricity workers under Taliban control have been cutting power to their homes for no clear reason. They add that despite paying their bills on time, the problem recurs every few months. According to these residents, household power is being disconnected without prior notice, and in some cases, reconnection takes days. They stress that to restore service, they are forced to spend hours visiting offices run by the Taliban. Speaking with the Hasht-e Subh Daily, the residents say that the sudden outages have created serious problems in their daily lives. They add that the repeated cuts have damaged household appliances and imposed extra costs on families. According to them, the conduct of Taliban electricity workers has been irresponsible, and the process for handling subscriber complaints is marked by disorder. They insist that families should be notified through an official notice or warning before their power is cut, and that subscribers who pay their bills on time should be treated fairly.
