Energy Minister Radha Gyawali has said that the government has no immediate plans to bring diesel plant in order to curb the excruciating load-shedding hours.
She also assured that all available alternatives would be closely studied to decrease more than 12-hours of daily load-shedding people across the country are forced to bear.
Minister Gyawali made these remarks while speaking at a press meet organised at the Ministry of Energy in the capital on Tuesday to inform the general public about initiatives being taken to resolve the severe energy crisis in the country.
The minister, however, claimed that her similar assurance in the past was wrongly interpreted by the media, saying that she has never said that diesel plant would be the most appropriate alternative to cut down power cuts.
Saying that her ministry is moving ahead by formulating both short-term and long-term plans to do away with the problem of load-shedding, Minister Gyawali claimed that the country will be completely free from the problem of load-shedding within the next five years.
