Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) Butwal branch office in Manigram has been vandalised by angry consumers on Sunday.
Around 50-60 persons chanted slogans against the branch chief and vandalised the Nayamil branch office of Butwal’s NEA office. Chairs, tables and CCTV monitors have been damaged in the vandalism.
Locals said they resorted to vandalism after village delegates repeatedly urged the office to resume power supply but to no avail. They said power in the village is largely disrupted and the office has taken no action to resume it.
NEA, however, said that the disruption was caused by a faulty transformer which has broken down despite multiple repairs.
