Power cuts hits the Businessman adversely


ITAHARI: The entire trade and business here have been adversely affected due to increasing power outage for the past few days. Media workers are also bearing the brunt of the heavy load shedding as they face immense problems in the dissemination of news.
Though the load shedding schedule is 16 hours a day, it is not certain when electricity comes and goes. Dairy farmers have voiced their complaint that their milk is going to waste with milk producers cooperatives refusing to purchase their produce on account of the load shedding. Cyber homes and petrol pumps are also facing the same problem in the absence of electricity.
                 A daily loss worth more than Rs 200 million is being incurred by factories in the Sunsari-Morang industrial corridor only because of power outage, according to industrialists. The health sector has also been seriously affected due to load shedding. Problems are being experienced in the course of treatment. Many patients reaching clinics for x-ray have had to return disappointed. Electricity users and the general public have reached the point of picketing Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) office for not responding their woes. Travel19.tk
