KABUL (Pajhwok): President Ashraf Ghani on Sunday suspended procurement and execution process of the Turkmenistan-Uzbekistan-Tajikistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan (TUTAP) electricity project and assigned a 12-member commission to assess the situation within 10 days.
The multimillion TUTAP power import project will pass through different Afghanistan provinces, including the strategic Salang Pass and Kabul, reaching Pakistan.
However, residents of central Bamyan province say the project be routed through Bamyan instead of Salang, but officials say routing the project through Bamyan is costly and would prolong the project implementation by several years.
