Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) said it has made a scheme through which it will collect the debts of consumers.

"We have been able to identify 329 major debts. Out of them, 33 debt owners expressed readiness to pay their debts," said Hekmatullah Maiwandu, a spokesman for DABS.

This comes as residents of Kabul expressed concerns over the shortage of electricity.

"We pay our electricity bills on time and we call on officials within DABS to pay attention to the shortage of power," said Raqib Najrabi, a resident of Kabul.

"I complain about it and ask them to turn on the electricity on time. The people face problems," said Javid, a resident of Kabul.

Earlier, the International Committee of the Red Crescent said that 22 percent of Afghanistan’s electricity is generated domestically and the rest is being imported from neighbouring countries.
