Brep: power house project hits snags

Chitral Today Report

The 50KV power house built on the Grover stream for the
Brep and adjoining villages could not be inaugurated
due to engineering faults and a dispute between the
local residents and an NGO.
The power house constructed on self-help basis by the
local communities under the patronage of AKRSP was scheduled
to be opened on July 11 when it hit snags due to a rift
between the NGO and the local people over distribution of
supply wires.
Later, when this issue was resolved, the water tank of the
power house collapsed due to poor engineering. The people
were told to born the cost of its reconstruction amounting
to Rs1.5 million. As it was impossible for the residents,
the AKRSP has offered to pay half of the cost and asked
the communities to reconstruct it on a self-help
basis.
