Beni:Myagdi Power supply has been restored in all areas affected by recent floods and landslides in Myagdi. The restoration efforts were led by the Distribution Centres of Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) located in Beni and Tatopani, which repaired the damaged transmission and branch line infrastructures.
According to National News Agency RSS, Satya Narayan Gami, the chief of NEA Beni Distribution Centre, stated that electricity would be reinstated in the remaining disrupted areas within two or three days. The NEA’s efforts included working late into the night in the Paudwar, Giwang, and Kindu areas, despite the ongoing festival season.
In some locations, electricity supply has been resumed through alternative arrangements while repairs continue. The Beni Distribution Centre is responsible for supplying electricity to 24,290 customers in Mallaj and Baribenika of Jaljala Rural Municipality in Pabart via the Milanchowk Substation.
The Tatopani Distribution Centre serves Mustang, including ward numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the Annapurna Rural Municipality. The natural disaster had damaged the NEA’s 33/11 kV transmission and distribution infrastructures, including 250 utility poles and associated power lines, with an estimated damage cost of around Rs 15 million.
