Electricity Crisis: Live in NepalThis topic may seem irrelevant to readers here in the United States. Nepal is the second richest country in water resources but we still have problems with hydroelectric energy. Every day the electricity goes out for hours and people are forced to live in darkness. The inability to create and implement new hydroelectric projects is the main reason why Nepalis are still deprived of complete electricity facilities. Creating a complex structure like the hydroelectric project is no joke. It takes time, manpower and funding. Old projects were built irresponsibly and went out of service in a very short period of time. This is why Nepal is stuck in electricity crisis. Nepal's hydropower minister, Kishor Babu Arayal, says this load shedding did not come suddenly. This situation must be calculated from the Arun and Marshyngdi rivers. The main cause of this crisis is politics. The policies determined by the hydropower development project were canceled by other laws and regulations, there was no unity. The policy's tax exemption directive has been rescinded. A 13% tax was imposed on the construction of the project. (www.eKantipur.com). This situation was created due to the conflict and unstable political situation in the country. There is no unity in national politics. Multidynamic donors look only to the government. The government should respect all its terms and conditions. The main problem is that we only consider the donor as a source. But in some situations, even the government fails to comply with all the terms and conditions of the donor. Along with political instability, policies also continued to change. There is a need for politics and mutual unity. The government itself is penniless; in this situation the conditions of the donor take precedence. There should be adequate cooperation between government and political parties; otherwise the project cannot be implemented. The conflict in the country has really weakened the willpower of fellow countrymen. For every step in this sector, authorization from the Ministry of Finance is required. The projects implemented only satisfied seasonal energy needs and could not be continued. The role of the government was not impressionable. Many projects have stalled due to India's lower yields. The private sector has also failed to meet energy needs. The only solution to the problem of the hydroelectric energy crisis is the unity of the parties and the government.
