Government to Send Mechanical Crane to Karnali to Resolve Power Outages

Kathmandu. The government is sending a 'mechanical crane' to solve the problem of power outages in Karnali. The decision to send a 'mechanical crane' to resolve the ongoing power supply disruption in Karnali has been made at the initiative of the Minister of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, Biraj Bhakta Shrestha.

The ministry has stated that the decision to send the necessary mechanical crane for the problem of frequent power outages due to line tripping in the Karnali Province and for maintenance work has been made. Minister Shrestha had received information about the problem of frequent power outages due to line tripping in Karnali Province, including Surkhet, and the lack of necessary mechanical cranes for maintenance work during his field visit to five districts in three provinces two weeks ago.

The head of the Nepal Electricity Authority, Karnali Province, had drawn Minister Shrestha's attention to the said issue. Immediately after returning to Kathmandu, Minister Shrestha coordinated with the regulatory body to send the 'mechanical crane' required to resolve the power outages.

"The coordination done to address the electricity problem within Karnali Province is now gaining fruition. After completing the necessary procedures and servicing, the mechanical crane located at the transformer workshop in Kharipati of the Nepal Electricity Authority will be provided to Karnali Province," said Minister Shrestha.

With this decision, the compulsion to bring equipment from other provinces when services are disrupted will be reduced, and power maintenance and service delivery will become faster, easier, and more effective, according to Minister Shrestha. Minister Shrestha stated that efforts to solve practical problems of public service are continuously ongoing.
