KATHMANDU: Efforts to restore electricity services disrupted by the Bhote Koshi River floods in Rasuwa have been intensified.
According to the Ministry of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, the campaign to restore power supply in areas affected by the Rasuwa floods has been accelerated. The ministry said it has mobilized available resources and manpower since the day after the devastating flood struck on Bhadra 10.
The ministry has adopted alternative measures to expedite the restoration of electricity services after the flood caused extensive damage to power infrastructure. As part of the effort, electricity services were restored in Bidur Municipality-10 and 11 of Nuwakot on Tuesday.
According to the ministry, approximately 83 percent of electricity services have so far been restored in Rasuwa and around 95 percent in Nuwakot.
Meanwhile, the Alternative Energy Promotion Centre has also begun distributing 2-kilowatt solar systems to community shelters and individual solar systems to households based on their needs in areas where electricity services have yet to be restored.
Employees and technical teams of the Nepal Electricity Authority, along with staff from the Alternative Energy Promotion Centre, are continuing to work on restoring electricity services in the flood-affected areas.
