KABUL, Feb. 28 (Xinhua) -- Afghan authorities have launched the work to build three electricity supply networks worth over 2.5 million U.S. dollars in eastern Afghanistan's Logar province, the state-run Bakhtar news agency reported Friday.

Quoting Mawlawi Mohammad Naem Mansoor, the chief of Power Company Breshna, the state-owned media outlet added that the power supply networks would provide electricity to 5,000 families in Baraki Barak, Charkh and Mohammad Agha districts as well as to the government offices in the province.

Similar power supply networks would be constructed in other districts of the province in the future, Bakhtar further said, citing the official.

Although the Afghan interim government has launched a series of power supply projects to overcome power shortages, major cities of the war-ravaged Afghanistan, including the capital city of Kabul, have been facing extreme shortages of electricity over the past couple of years. Enditem
