Nepal - Oct 21

While Nepal's legislative branch argues over a new constitution, Rajendra Kishorr Chhetri, energy secretary, recently signed a bilateral energy agreement. Since 2008, Nepal has suffered severeload shedding and electricity leakage, and last winter some regions only received eight hours of power a day. The new agreement will increase India's energy exports to Nepal and includes the construction of a new transmission line in order to ameliorate Nepal's power crisis. Source: Ekantipur, Ekantipur
