White paper on load shedding to be presented

Minister for Water Resources Bishnu Poudel has promised to bring in a white paper on the causes, effects and situation of load shedding in the country.

Inaugurating a community television station in Butwal, Wednesday, Poudel said that the white paper had become necessary because of many confusions regarding the power shortage.

He said that since domestic generation alone would not be sufficient to cater to demands, the load shedding was a must for the time being.

He said the government would encourage alternative energy sources to lessen the effects of load shedding in coming days. nepalnews.com Oct 02 08
