Government Minister for Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation Deepak Khadka has said that there will be load shedding in the evening. In the meeting of the National Assembly on Wednesday, Minister Khadka said that there is load shedding in the industry and now there will be load shedding in the homes of the common man.
Minister Khadka said that the supply of electricity is less than the demand and there will be load shedding. "The Government's 100 percent investment in the Electricity Authority has produced only 700 megawatts." 2800 MW of electricity has been produced by the private sector. Electricity has not been supplied even today. Yesterday also there was load shedding, it is still happening today,' he said, 'Yesterday also the work was done by cutting the electricity to the industrialists and giving it to the houses, today it is the same . Even now, 825 MW of electricity is being imported from India. We have up to 1,000 megawatts of electricity. Now there is loadshedding at home in the evening.'
Minister Khadka said that India and the private sector have a role to play rather than the Executive Director of Nepal's Load Shedding Electricity Authority, Kulman Ghising. He reiterated that India should be thanked for ending load shedding in Nepal. Earlier, he expressed gratitude to India for ending load shedding in the House of Representatives. "There is a feeling that load-shedding has been removed due to the electricity imported from India and the private sector." Therefore, the hero of the light is not him (Kulman Ghisingh), but let us give this thanks to India, let us give it to the private sector. He wanted to plead whether to give thanks to those who fulfilled our needs, he said.
Minister Khadka said that although the authority has made a profit, the report of the Auditor General's office has shown a loss of more than 2 trillion rupees. He argued that there is no truth in the claim that the authority is profitable.
