Nowadays,
people are troubled by the rising inflation in the country; on the other hand, so many taxes have been imposed on the earners that they are also troubled. But do you know there is a country in the world where
people get free
electricity, gas, and water? Recently, a video is going viral on social media, in which it is being claimed that in a country named
turkmenistan,
people not only get free
electricity and water, but they also do not have to pay for gas. So let’s take a look.
In the latest viral video, it is written that
turkmenistan is the only country in the whole world where gas,
electricity, and water are given free to the
people from 1993 till date. This post has been shared on
instagram by a user named Daily Life Fact Knowledge, which is followed by 16 thousand
people on this platform. This post has received more than 12 lakh views so far. At the same time, thousands of
people have liked and shared it.
According to reports, in
turkmenistan, since the year 1993,
people there really used to get
electricity, water, and gas for free. But in the year 2019, then-President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow abolished this provision. According to the reason given by the
government behind ending it, there was the growing
population of the country and the deteriorating economic conditions there. Currently, none of these things are free in Turkmenistan. Therefore, many claims made in the post are misleading.
