Champassak, 26 villages access electricity during couple of years

(KPL) Twenty-six villages have accessed electricity since 2006. The province plans to have 118 villages across the province use electricity by 2012.
Mr. Niphone Viengpasard Head of Champassak Administration Office, governors from 10 districts in the province and relevant officials held a meeting on the electricity expansion in the province during the last few years.
