Based on complaints against the process for financial sharing in Mugu Karnali and Kimathanka Arun hydropower projects, the Infrastructure Development Committee under the House of Representatives has called Energy Minister Deepak Khadka, Energy Secretary Suresh Acharya and others to a meeting on Wednesday.
Lalindra Rai, an alert citizen, filed a complaint on December 12 against the process for financial partnership in the 1902 MW Mugu Karnali and Kimathanka Arun hydropower projects, which are considered commercially attractive.
Lalindra Rai, a 'conscious citizen', filed a complaint in the committee saying that the low-cost and commercially attractive hydropower project was being given on the basis of 'setting'. As a representative of the sovereign people, Rai has filed a complaint demanding an immediate investigation and necessary action to be taken. Rai has also demanded that the entire process of notification regarding the submission of the letter of intent for the financial investment call be postponed until the
complaint is resolved. Deepak Bahadur Singh, chairman of the committee, said that on the basis of the same complaint, the Minister of Energy, Secretary of Energy, Executive Director of Nepal Electricity Authority and others were called in the meeting held on January 16 (holiday).
'On the basis of the complaint given by Chet Nepali Lalindra Rai, we have called the Minister of Energy, the Secretary of Energy, the Executive Director of the Authority and others to a meeting on the 16th,' Singh said, 'We have called to discuss the issues of two hydroelectric projects, the Minister and the Secretary have been called based on the complaints about the two projects. Yes.'
Electricity Production Company Limited (VUCL) issued a notice on January 4, Mugu Karnali and Kimathanka Arun Jalvidyut. It has been said that the process initiated for financial partnership in the project has been cancelled. Chairman Singh said that the energy minister and the energy secretary will be asked the reason and basis for canceling those contracts. "Now you have canceled the contract, we will also ask the reason and basis for canceling it," Singh said.
The Electricity Production Company Limited (VUCL) called for proposals for both projects last December 23, making a procedure to suit certain individuals and business houses. In order to narrow the competition in the 1902 MW Mugu Karnali and 454 MW Kimathanka Arun projects, the proposal was collected by creating a procedure overnight.
