The best way to protest against load shedding is to cut off all the electricity. You have to be really smart to come up with this.
Students cut off electricity in Kanchanpur
Kantipur Report
MAHENDRANAGAR, Dec 29 - Activists
of three different students’ unions cut off 32 KW National electricity
transmission line at Lalpur sub-station in Kanchanpur on Sunday
resulting to no power supply in dozens of districts.
Students had cut off the line on Sunday afternoon protesting against load shedding.
They had taken out a rally last morning pressurising the employees to cut off the electricity.
They also padlocked the sub-station and pelted stones at the office forcing the employees to cut off the transmission.
The agitating students have demanded to prioritise the Far-western region as load shedding free region and provide them with the transmission supplied in the country from Tanakpur Hydro-electricity in India.
According to Mahakali Treaty, India has been supplying 20 KW electricity from Tanakpur Hydro-electricity project.
Nepal Electricity Authority has been transmitting the electricity to Lamahi sub-station in Dang.
