Minister Khadka again said: Let us thank India for removing load shedding earlier
Government Minister for Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation Deepak Khadka has said that load shedding will take place in the evening. In the meeting of the National Assembly on Wednesday, Minister Khadka said that load shedding is happening in the industry and now load shedding will also happen in the homes of common people.
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 generated 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 the private sector and India." Therefore, the hero of the light is not him (Kulman Ghising), but let us give this thanks to India, let us give it to the private sector. He wanted to request that whoever fulfilled our needs should not be thanked, he said.
Minister Khadka said that although the Authority has made a profit, the report of the Office of the Auditor General has shown a loss of more than 2 billion rupees. He argued that there is no truth in the claim that the authority is profitable.
