Kathmandu, December 29
Power supply came to a halt in the Kathmandu Valley on Thursday morning, reminding valley folks of days when there would be no electricity for hours.
Nepal Electricity Authority explained why.
‘Electricity went off as a jumper wire of the 132-KV Marsyangdi-Syuchatar transmission line snapped’
Prabal Adhikari, spokesperson for NEA, said this happened as a jumper wire of the 132-KV Marsyangdi-Syuchatar transmission line snapped.
The power went off at 7.20 am. Repair works are currently underway.
After around two hours, power supply resumed for a while, only to go off again.
