What happened
Landslides, triggered by incessant rains, damaged transmission pylons along the Dana-Kushma section of the 220kV Kaligandaki corridor. This damage forced 12 hydropower projects to shut down, leading to a total generation loss exceeding 790MW. To manage the resulting shortfall, the utility cut approximately 300MW of electricity supply to factories in major industrial hubs, including Butwal and Birgunj.

Why it matters
The disruption halted power from key projects and requires technicians to assess and reconstruct the damaged towers before power supply can resume. The utility's decision to cut power to factories in major industrial hubs directly impacts industrial operations.
