Nepal Electricity Authority Coordinates with Local Bodies for Roadside Pole Relocation

Kathmandu. The Nepal Electricity Authority has initiated coordination with local levels to relocate electricity poles located in the middle of main urban roads that are obstructing road expansion, traffic operation, and public safety.

This is being done under the 'Shifting of Poles in the Middle of Roads in Main Cities of Local Bodies and Operation of Road Safety Project' under the Nepal Government's fiscal year 2083-84 program. For the implementation of the program, local levels must identify poles within their jurisdiction that are in the middle of the road, increasing the risk of accidents, or obstructing road expansion, and coordinate with the concerned Nepal Electricity Authority distribution center.
