The owners of the shops pointed out that they have called on the Municipality and the Ministry of Electricity and Water, to re-connect electricity to their shops saying they have been suffering for more than three months.

They added they rented a power generator for about 1,000 dinars a month to supply power to more than 50 shops to keep their birds alive and prevent damage to the equipment and stores.
