Bhai Tika 2023 Celebrated
By Agencies Nov 16, 2023
For seven consecutive years, Nepali citizens have not had to call upon Laxmi, the goddess of light, prosperity, and happiness, during dark nights of load shedding. This change is credited to Kul Man Ghising, the Managing Director of the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA). Backed by Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda and Energy Minister Janardan Sharma Prabhakar, as well as Anup Kumar Upadhyaya, secretary, and Chairperson of NEA, MD Ghising made a landmark decision to end a decade-long era of prolonged power outages on October 30, 2016, coinciding with the festival of Laxmipuja.
