4,955 villages provided electricity in 2006-07’

ISLAMABAD: Around 4,955 villages have been electrified during year 2006-07 and the Multan Electric Power Company (MEPCO) has completed electrification of 5,001 houses, said MEPCO chief executive on Monday

Aalsi, your original article mentioned almost 5000 villages provided with electricty, and this referred to those areas covered by just the Multan Electric Power Company (MEPCO). Quite impressive in it’s own right.

But for the whole of Pakistan, all remaining 37,000 villages without electricity will be supplied by the end of this year, under the under the Prime Minister’s Roshan Pakistan Programme.

There are a total of 127,568 villages in Pakistan and 90,489 have been electrified by 2004-05. There are 37,079 villages still without power. However, electrification work is in progress in 6,838 villages which will be completed by December. Electrification work in the remaining 30,241 villages would be completed by December 2007.
