NEA on standby to ensure smooth power supply during Dashain

By A Staff Reporter,Kathmandu, Oct. 18: The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has directed distribution centres across the country to remain prepared to ensure a reliable, regular and quality power supply to consumers during the Dashain festival.

Although industrial and commercial activities generally decline during Dashain, electricity consumption patterns change in households, religious sites, markets and public places. The NEA has, therefore, prioritised the safe and reliable operation of the electricity system during the festival.

NEA Managing Director Dirghayu Kumar Shrestha and Rajan Dhakal, chief of the Distribution and Customer Service Directorate, held a virtual meeting with the chiefs of provincial division offices and distribution centres on Friday, directing them to make all necessary preparations to prevent disruptions to electricity supply throughout the Dashain.
