By A Staff Reporter, Kathmandu, Oct. 14: The Ministry of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation has intensified repair and restoration work to resume electricity supply disrupted by floods along the Budhigandaki River and its tributary, the Shyar Khola.

According to Minister for Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation Biraj Bhakta Shrestha, electricity supply has been restored in all flood-affected areas except Dharche Rural Municipality.

Efforts are underway to restore electricity supply to Khorlabesi as soon as possible, as there is no road access beyond the area and the power lines have been completely damaged.

The Arughat Distribution Centre of the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) said that restoration work in Dharche Rural Municipality also began on Tuesday morning.

Electricity supply has already resumed in the Arughat area.
