Hunza village produces its own electricity [1]

Minister for Finance and Privatisation Syed Naveed Qamar has said that community participation is vital for sustainable development.

He was speaking at a public rally in Ahmedabad, a hamlet 15 kilometres north of Aliabad, the headquarter of Hunza, after opening a hydro-power project.

The 350-KVA micro-hydel power station was constructed by the villagers with the technical help of the Aga Khan Rural Support Programme and financial assistance of the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund (PPAF).
