KABUL: The Minister of Water and Energy Mullah Abdul Latif Mansoor in a meeting with the representative of China’s MCC Company said that for the extraction of Mes Aynak Copper mine necessary electricity will be supplied from the Bagh Dara and Surobi-2 dams, the ministry said in a statement.
Mullah Abdul Latif Mansoor suggested the use of the Bagh Dara power dam in Kapisa province and Surobi-2 in Kabul to the officials of the Chinese MCC company.
