KATHMANDU: Nepal’s state-owned power utility says electricity supply will be temporarily disrupted in parts of the capital on Sunday due to scheduled maintenance work.

The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) said power will be cut under the Panipokhari and Hospital feeders between 11:00am and 1:00pm, affecting areas including Lazimpat, Panipokhari, Maharajgunj and the vicinity of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital.

The authority added that electricity will also remain suspended in and around the President’s Residence, the Nepal Police Central Investigation Bureau, and the Nepal Police Hospital, according to the Maharajgunj Distribution Centre.

The outage is part of work to connect underground cables under the Kathmandu Valley Central and Northern Distribution System Strengthening Project, aimed at improving the reliability of power supply in the city.

NEA said electricity may be restored earlier than scheduled if the work is completed ahead of time.
