The Great Man-Made River Project Authority announced water outage in Tripoli and other cities in the western and central region after armed men assaulted its electricity station, blocking the water flow.
In a statement, the authorities said that an armed group stormed the main electricity station and obliged the technicians there to cut off the electricity supply to Hasnawa wells fields in the backdrop of demands of fair outage hours of electricity in the south as in other regions.
After negotiations with the group, the electrical current was back and work is currently ongoing to charge the electricity stations to operate wells again, added the statement. Gradual arrival of water to Tripoli is expected by Friday.
The authority demanded the security and military bodies to hold responsibility of protecting Hasnawa wells fields.
Meanwhile, the Government of National Accord, headed by Fayez al-Sarraj, declared that dozens of prisoners in Mitiga prison were released. Spokesman of the Presidential Council (PC) head Mohammed Al-Sallak confirmed Wednesday the release of 83 prisoners from the prison of Mitiga in coordination with the Ministry of Justice and the Attorney General.
The 7th Brigade, part of the latest clashes in Tripoli, announced that officers of its operations' chamber opened channels for communication with relevant parties in Tripoli in order to freeze all military actions.
Sarraj government revealed that a new agreement to confirm the ceasefire in Tripoli was signed between representatives of Tripoli and Tarhuna.
