Hitendra Dev Shakya Takes Charge As Chief Of Nepal Electricity Authority Despite Outrage
Hitendra Dev Shakya (Center) assumes office as the Managing Director of the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) in Nepal on March 25, 2025, following the government's decision to appoint him. Shakya previously leads NEA but is replaced by Kulman Ghising. His legal battle challenging this removal remains unresolved, with his petition pending before the Supreme Court for years. Despite attending 31 hearings, a verdict is never reached, and his four-year term expires while awaiting a decision. Now, backed by the ruling alliance of Nepali Congress and CPN-UML, Shakya returns to the top position at NEA. Shakya's reappointment comes amid public outrage over Ghising's dismissal. The move draws criticism, with concerns that political interests take precedence over institutional stability. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
