NEA's Kulman Ghising disagrees with cabinet’s decision to reconnect power to industries

Kathmandu, November 11 — A meeting of the Board of Directors of the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has started at the Ministry of Energy, located in Singhadarbar. The main agenda of the meeting is to discuss the reconnection of electricity lines for industries that were previously disconnected due to the dedicated and trunk line dispute.

However, at the outset of the meeting, the Executive Director of the NEA, Kulman Ghising, expressed a differing opinion on reconnecting the industry lines. He stated that the NEA had disconnected the electricity lines according to the law, and therefore, it would not be possible to implement the Cabinet’s decision.

The meeting, which was chaired by Energy Minister Deepak Khadka, saw two members of the Board of Directors absent, according to sources close to the Ministry.

In the Cabinet meeting held on Sunday, the government had decided to reconnect the power supply to the industries that were previously disconnected. However, despite this decision, Kulman Ghising raised concerns and expressed dissatisfaction at the meeting.
