Shafaq News/ The administration of Banjard district announced today, Thursday, the delivery of electricity to one of the remote villages in the district in order to improve services and the conditions of its citizens.

 

The administration of Banjard district of Dukan district said in a statement received by Shafak News Agency, that with a distinguished effort by the Bankard Electricity Division and in cooperation with the Sulaymaniyah Electricity Distribution Directorate, we were able to deliver electric power to the citizens of the village (Tomar) located to the west of the district.

 

The statement added that the preparation for the delivery of electricity to the village of Tamar has been since 2013, but due to the financial crisis and the war on ISIS, the delivery of electricity to the people of the village was delayed.

 

The statement affirmed that this village, since its establishment, has not been connected to electricity because of its remoteness from the center of the district and its rugged geographical nature.

That’s a good step, I wonder if they have the municipal infrastructure in place yet. Once they get transmission to the town they need to transform the voltage to the distribution network. After they get it to the houses the houses need wired. I’m also curious if they ran a fiber optic line to provide connection to the internet. Perhaps they have a cell tower setup for access to the digital world. Good news, good progress.

I only thought as far as being able to have air conditioning in the 100°+ weather 😁 But yeah, internet, cell phones, and all the crazy things teens are going to be exposed to… 😱
