A team comprising Nepal Electricity Authority Executive Director Kulmansingh Ghising, investors and contractors today inspected the under-construction 456 megawatt Upper Tamakoshi Hydro project at Lamabagar in Dolakha.

Project Management Committee member Harraj Neupane, Mohan Ratna Shakya, Lekhnath Koirala, Nepal Telecom’s Director Kamini Rajbhandari, Insurance Committee’s Ashwini Kumar Thakur and Employees Provident Fund’s
Rajendra Kafle were also in the team.

They made a field observation of the project and highlighted the need to finish the project by June 2018.

“The project has to be completed within the deadline. We are ready to settle problems and hurdles if there are any,” a representative from Nepal Telecom said. The team also held discussion with the project’s contractor company Sino-Hydro consultant company and the project management.

Meanwhile, Ghising directed the contractor company to dig the remaining 990-metre tunnel in three shifts. The total length of the tunnel is 8.6 km.

As much as 88 per cent of the total construction has been completed.
