PM Oli says dues of dedicated feeders and Trunk lines will be collected

Kathmandu: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has clarified that the arrears of Nepal Electricity Authority’s dedicated feeders and trunk line power supply will be collected without any leftovers.

Responding to questions of MPs in today’s meeting of the House of Representatives, Prime Minister Oli said the arrears will be collected not by closing the industry but by operating it.

PM Oli said, ‘The government is clear on this; the arrears will be collected without cutting off the power supply lines.’ He also made it clear that there is no difference between the government and the NEA leadership and refuted the social media publicity that tries to give a false impression that the NEA is trying to collect the tariff and the government is exempting it.

On a different note, the Prime Minister said that a system would be developed whereby a response would be made within three days on the files that need to be decided in any ministry. He also said that the process of linking the national identity card and driver’s license to the citizen app has been started.
