Kathmandu, June 27: Some areas in the capital city have witnessed disruption in regular power supply after the underground transmission system got affected due to carelessness in the ongoing pipeline works of the Melamchi Drinking Water Project.
Power supply in some areas has been disrupted after the underground wire of 66 KV Substation inside the Singha Durbar exploded, according to the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA).
The power supply was disrupted from this afternoon when the electric cables were damaged while planting the pipes in the Singha Durbar area.
NEA Spokesperson Prabal Adhikari said that damages have occurred after the burst that occurred while extracting the cable of the substation from the labourers while planting the pipe.
Currently, the electricity supplied from 11 different feeders is disrupted and some more time is expected to fix the power supply, Adhikari added.
Nearly, 35 to 40 megawatt of power is out of system after the power disruption. Currently, Bag Bazaar, Putalisadak, Anamnagar, Babarmahal and some other areas have witnessed load shedding. RSS
