NEA Executive Director Ghising to hold presser today

Kathmandu, November 13 — Executive Director of Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), Kulman Ghising, is scheduled to hold a press conference on Wednesday.

The press conference will take place at the NEA's conference hall at 2:00 PM.

Ghising has been firm in his stance on collecting overdue payments from industries for dedicated and trunk line tariffs. He had even disconnected the power supply to industries that failed to pay their dues.

On October 24, the NEA had cut the power supply to 34 large industries due to non-payment of dues. However, after six industries began paying in installments, the NEA had already restored their power supply.

Meanwhile, following decisions from both the Cabinet and the NEA's Board meeting, the authority has started reconnecting power lines to the industries.

The NEA has issued directives to its regional offices to reconnect the power lines.
