Minister for Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation Deepak Khadka has directed the industries to immediately verify the outstanding amount of ‘dedicated feeder and trunk line’ and collect it.
Today, the Ministry of Energy summoned Secretary Suresh Acharya, Chairman of the Electricity Regulatory Commission Dr. Ram Prasad Dhital, and Executive Director of the Nepal Electricity Authority Hitendra Dev Shakya and instructed them to collect the arrears.
From Magh 2073 BS to Baisakh 2075 BS, electricity was provided to various industries through trunk lines and dedicated lines, and there has been a dispute regarding its tariff.
Energy Minister Khadka has directed the government to collect the remaining arrears based on the report submitted by a committee formed under the coordination of former Supreme Court Justice Girish Chandra Lal to resolve the electricity tariff dispute.
