He added that the minister of electricity promised to supply the province with 100 megawatts, in addition to its share, while noting that the towers to transfer energy to the province has been subjected to more than a terrorist act during the last period.
Al-Tamimi called on the federal government to intervene and find a way out to save Diyala because of the electricity crisis, especially after it caused the stop of water stations, stressing the need to continue communication with the federal government to reach appropriate solutions, especially in Ramadan
