Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai has got his energy czars to ensure that load-shedding does not exceed 12 hours a day this winter, but with no addition in generation capacity and no transmission lines, it doesn't look likely. Read also: Hello darkness my old friend, BHRIKUTI RAI 1. Paul Krugman
Massive power cuts, living in darkness. Brought to you by your leaders in arms, the Maobadi. Your gratefulness for being ruled is acknowledged. Posted

Whatever the merits of the above comment, if definitely does NOT come from New York Times columnist, Princeton Professor, Paul Krugman! In fact, the author's misleading moniker undermines the comment's credibility. Posted

Disgrace to the planners, bureacrats, and politicians of Nepal in creating a mess of the hydropower situation in Nepal. It is deplorable that a country with such massive potential is making the citizens suffer. Nepal should be having electricity connected to every house in the country for cooking, lighting, and other uses at half the cost of the present tarriff. The greed and avarice of the commission agents and planners have destroyed the country. Posted

From a solution point of view: No load shedding. Situation: Demand exceeds Supply Locus of Control: We can't change the policy right now, but we can curb our demand. As we talk about hydro and stuff, let's reflect and curb our electricity consumption as well. If, and I know its a big IF everyone curbs a little bit in the demand side, it would be helpful. I am not defending anyone, But just saying that lets think of a solution, short term and long term, rather than finger point, and talk about the problems. Posted

Was the motive behind this news piece to provoke people and fuel a hatred about incompetent leaders than to actually shed light on current power situation. I would highly appreciate if it was the latter and request the author to put more credible sources to support the statement in the title. Posted
