LIMA, March 17 (NNN-ANDINA) – The Peruvian government has today provided electricity to 4,200 rural towns all over the country and will extend this service to over 10,000 additional rural communities that have been waiting for the benefit for decades, President Alan García Pérez said.
He said this at an inauguration ceremony in the Town of Sacuyo, in the district of Acora in Puno, of two electrification systems for 122 rural towns where 3,598 families live and whose lives will change dramatically with the connection of electric power in their houses.
?Electricity is a democratic right, it cannot be possible that million of Peruvians still live in darkness without the right of communications and information?, he said.
He said that his government is making an effort to provide light and water and better quality education to the poorest people.
He said that electricity will be installed in 2,220 rural towns only in Puno, benefiting 400,000 people who never had light. — NNN-ANDINA
