Tajikistan rations electricity amid water shortages
Dushanbe, Tajikistan (AFP) Sept 23, 2024
Tajikistan has restricted the use of electricity because a shortage of water has left it struggling to run vital hydroelectric power plants, authorities said on Monday. Rising temperatures and a lack of rainfall have hit the landlocked nation in Central Asia, a region on the frontlines of global climate change. "Electricity restrictions are being imposed as of September 22," a spokesman
