Owing to the increasing discharge of waters in the rivers, the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has announced to cut the power cuts from 24 to 12 hours a week from Friday.

Just recently, it had cut down load shedding hours from 40 to 24 hours per week. As per the new schedule, the NEA will cancel load shedding between 9.00 am to 12.00 pm and 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm in the capital valley; and between 9:30am and 12:30pm and 2:30pm and 5:30pm outside the valley.
Reports quoted head of the NEA’s Load Dispatch Center chief Sher Singh Bhat as informing that there will only be three hours of power cuts for four days in a week, two in the morning and two in the evening.

Of late, due to increasing warmth and sunshine, the snow have started to melt increasing the volume of water in rivers.
