With the appointment of managing director of NEA by the government, Kulman Ghising has assumed the office and started his second innings as Managing Director of Nepal Electricity Authority.

Following the cabinet's decision, the Energy Ministry is preparing to hand Ghising his appointment letter today itself.

Following the appointment of Ghising in NEA, the incumbent managing director of the NEA Hitendra Dev Shakya has been transferred to the Ministry of Energy.

Ghising, during his four-year tenure at the NEA, was largely credited for ending the decades-long load shedding 'era' in Nepal and had made the institution profitable.
