The government has appointed Hitendradev Shakya as the executive director of Nepal Electricity Authority. The Council of Ministers held on Monday removed Kulman Ghising and appointed Shakya.

Executive Director Kulman was repeatedly asked for clarification by the government. Energy Minister Deepak Khadka had been giving a statement saying that Kulman did not fear the government.

Kulman said that the explanation he was asked before was not satisfactory for many reasons. On the contrary, he questioned the government. He said that since the basis and reason were not revealed in the explanation, there was no situation to submit more copies.

Minister Khadka said that he was not satisfied with the explanation given by Ghising on March 28, and asked for a two-point explanation as to why he should not be removed from the post of Executive Director of Nepal Electricity Authority by a ministerial decision on February 13.

The government led by Sher Bahadur Deuba appointed Kulman as the executive director of the authority for the second time on 26 July 2078. The government transferred the then Executive Director Hitendradev Shakya to the Water and Energy Commission with special category facilities.

Kulman, who was appointed as the executive director of the authority for the first time by the decision of the cabinet led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal on August 29, 2073, is credited with ending load shedding and turning the organization that has been losing money for years into profit.

Ghisingh, who was appointed as the executive director, managed to end load shedding in the valley in the first year of his tenure when load shedding was going on for 18 hours a day. It was announced that the country has been load-shedding-free since April 2075.
