Deal #7826

Transmission Line: Electricity

Construction of the line was begun some 10 years back. However, it was delayed due to the slackness of performance by the contractor, the local people's obstruction on the 'right of way' of the transmission line, the delay in approving cutting down trees on the right of way, among other reasons. A report in January of 2019 by the Kathmandu Post stated they had obtained Forest Clearance, and by May of 2019,m the Setopati reported that it was in commercial operation.
