Staffers of Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) have asked all unauthorised persons using NEA's vehicles to return the vehicles within a month or face the music, annapurna post daily reported.

Speaking at the programme organised in the capital to mark NEA's 24th anniversary Monday, chairman of Employees Welfare Council Bal Krishna Shrestha warned said, "If our vehicles are not returned within a month, we will take action wherever we find them."

Prime Minsiter Madhav Kumar Nepal, energy minister Dr Prakash Sharan Mahat, state minister for energy Chandra Singh Bhattarai and energy secretary Shankar Koirala are among those who are using NEA's vehicles.

Likewise, former Prime Ministers Sher Bahadur Deuba, Krishna Prasad Bhattarai and Pushpa Kamal Dahal have still not returned the NEA's vehicles they used as the PM.

UML leader Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli is also using the vehicle owned by Chamelia hydro-electric project.

An NEA staffer Ajit Tamang said, about thirteen expensive vehicles belonging to the NEA were being used outside the NEA.

Even the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) is using a vehicle of NEA, Tamang said.

NEA's accumulated loss has crossed Rs 4 billion in the current fiscal year. nepalnews.com
