BATMAN - The "thirst" that started when DEDAŞ cut off the electricity going to the dynamos in nine villages of Kozluk district was given a bairam break after 22 days.

On July 13, due to condolences, the dynamo that supplied water to Zilan village was temporarily energized.

 

As of yesterday, DEDAŞ has connected the electricity of the dynamos that provide water to the other 8 villages. The problem in the villages, which were temporarily energized on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, is still not permanently solved.
