The expansion of electricity to three wards of two local units in the Tanahun district has delighted the locals here who are hopeful that this would help change the face of their locality.
All the households in ward no 13 and 14 of Byas Municipality and ward no 6 of Bandipur Rural Municipality have been connected in the national grid.
The incumbent government has envisioned providing electricity to every household within the fiscal year 2022/23. The Nepal Electricity Authority, the state-owned authority to generate, transmit and distribute electricity, is working accordingly to ensure all the households across the country lit up within stipulated time.
Altogether 115 households at Khaharetar, Dhap, Thumthume and Byas Municipality, Masdighat, Sude and Rijaldi have been provided with the electricity, informed ward no-6 chair Santa Bahadur Gurung.
Expansion of electricity to these localities hit a snag due to flood last monsoon and Covid-19 pandemic. With the electricity connected in every household here, the locals are hugely elated, said Project Site In-charge engineer Laxman Regmi.
