Langkat, North Sumatra, March 19 (Antara) - A number of villages in the regency of Langkat, North Sumatra have not been covered by the electrification program, a local lawmaker said.

With no street illuminations those villages easily become criminal targets, deputy chairman of the Commission D of the district legislative assembly Rahmanuddin Rangkuti said in Stabat, on Monday after a hearing with the branch of the state-owned electricity company PT PLN Cabang Binjai-Langkat.

Head of the PLN branch for Binjai-Langkat Lelan Hasibuan said in 2019, PLN hopes to finish electrification of all villages in Langkat.
