KATHMANDU, Jan 17: Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has imposed a whopping nine hours a day load-shedding from Sunday.


Earlier, there was eight hours a day load-shedding for five days and seven hours a day for two days in a week. [break]



The power cut hours have been increased as hydropower projects are generating less electricity due to receding water levels in the rivers. All the hydropower projects in the country -- except Kulekhani -- are built on run-of-river model.
