Panjshir governor Mohammad Agha Hakim stated that the work of this dam with the capacity to produce four megawatts of electricity will be completed in the near future.
Agha Hakim added the construction work of this dam will cost more than seven million dollars and all its costs will be paid from the budget of the Islamic Emirate.
“The total cost of Parande power dam project is 7.6 million dollars, of which 7 million has been paid and 0.6 million is left, which will be paid after the completion of the work,” he added.
