DUSHANBE , September 14, Asia-Plus – A critical situation has formed on the site for construction of the Sangtuda-1 power plant as the Dushanbe cement plant has suspended cement supplies to the site, a letter by Rakhmetulla Alzhanov, director general of open joint-stock company Sangtuda-1 HPS, sent to Tajik Prime Minister Oqil Oqilov said.
