DANG, JAN 01 -
Former Energy Minister Gokarna Bista has claimed that the present load-shedding could be halved if the government wanted to.
Addressing a programme, marking the fifth anniversary of the Ganatantra, a national daily published from Dang, in Ghorahi on Saturday, former minister and CPN (UML) leader Bista said the current load-shedding hours could be reduced by half if the rampant electricity theft could be checked and the diesel plants with big industries fully utilized.
"The load-shedding hours could be decreased by three hours throughout the country if electricity pilferage could be cut only by 10 percent and 150 Megawatt electricity could be generated in seven days," Bista claimed.
He said he also submitted a 91 pages long report to the government on alleviating the energy crisis but the government was not serious about that. RSS
