”For a long time, the industry has been experiencing a series of lines being connected and disconnected due to the dispute over dedicated and trunk line arrears,” said Chandra Dhakal, president of the federation. ”We had previously taken the initiative to not disconnect the lines and connect them when they were disconnected. We have done so this time as well.”

The Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) has stated that it has taken the initiative to immediately connect electricity to industries that have been facing power cuts for a long time due to a dispute over the additional premium amount due for consuming electricity through dedicated and trunk lines.
The federation has taken the initiative to connect the lines immediately in a press conference held on Tuesday. Federation President Chandra Prasad Dhakal said that the process of cutting and connecting lines in the industry has been going on for a long time in the past and has taken the initiative to resolve it immediately.
‘The process of connecting and disconnecting lines in the industry has been going on for a long time in the dedicated and trunk line arrears dispute,’ he said, ‘We had taken the initiative not to cut the lines before, but to connect them when they were cut. We have done it this time too.’
He said that the entire economy was affected by the cutting of lines in the industry, so he took the initiative to connect the lines in the industry immediately.
‘The line that was cut due to the dispute should be connected, I led on behalf of the private sector on Monday,’ he said, ‘After the discussion with Prime Minister Sushila Karki on Sunday, I discussed with Dhruv Thapa, Sulabh Agarwal and others.’ The main issues were keeping the money as a deposit instead of installments, connecting the line immediately, and allowing continuous administrative review, and allowing them to go through the judicial process.''
Dhakal said that since there was no consensus on all issues during the 'negotiations', they agreed to keep the money as a deposit instead of installments, connecting the line immediately, and allowing them to go through the judicial process. ''My business friends trusted me. I went there alone because the Prime Minister's Secretariat asked me to come,'' he said.
Dhruv Thapa, the outgoing president of the Nepal Cement Manufacturers Association, said that the situation reached a terrible situation in 15 days when the lines of 25 industries were cut. ''When it reached 15 days, it reached a terrible situation, if it had been extended by 1/2 a day, it would have been a bigger problem,'' he said.
He said that although the administrative review of the Nepal Electricity Authority was asked to continue, it could not be included during the 'negotiations'. ‘We have cut the check as per the agreement on Monday. We are ready to pay the deposit,’ he said, ‘We have our approval. We have welcomed it.’
Federation President Raghunandan Maru said that the initiative of the federation, the meeting chaired by the Prime Minister, has taken the initiative to immediately resolve the dispute over the arrears of dedicated and trunk lines and connect the lines to the disconnected industries. ‘We have reached the end of the six-and-a-half-year struggle,’ he said, ‘We will pay the deposit as per the agreement and go through the legal process.’
