Two companies pay dues in tranches to NEA as top court invalidates inquiry committee

Laxmi Steels and Sarbottam Cement, which had been refusing to pay their dues, deposited their instalments on Friday.

As the Supreme Court refused to legitimise the inquiry committee formed by the Ministry of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation to settle the billing dispute on dedicated feeders and trunk lines, two industries that had utilised the dedicated power supply services have begun paying their dues to the Nepal Electricity Authority.
