KATHMANDU: A group of youths organized a march from Maitighar to New Baneshwar on Saturday in the support of Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) Managing Director (MD) Kulman Ghising.


The agitating youths expressed concerns over the potential decision by the government and parliamentary bodies to facilitate major industries to avoid paying electricity bills. The protest comes amid rumors that the KP Oli-led government is planning to oust him from the post.

Keeping this in mind, NEA MD Ghising on Friday organized a press conference to highlight the achievements he had made during his tenure as MD. He claimed that the NEA had earned Rs 82 billion since he took over the leadership of the power utility. 


“The NEA, which had a deficit of Rs 34.61 billion eight years ago, has now accumulated a profit of Rs 47.41 billion,” he further said during a press conference on Friday.


Here are some photos of the march taken by Republica’s Photojournalist Dipesh Darshanadhikari.
