Thirdly, frequent breakdown of electricity, disruption in internet connectivity, high temperature in summer season and general feeling of insecurity undermined the smooth functioning of the ICC.
For instance, in the absence of electricity (in summer, daily breakdown of electricity was 8 12 hours) it was simply not possible to continue information providing sessions at ICC because of hot and humid weather and stoppage of ICT tools and devices.
Still, the constant food shortages, electricity blackouts, and telephone breakdowns affect people in different ways.
