The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) announced that the power cut will occur from 10 am to 4 pm in regions served by the Matatirtha feeder of the Balambu Subsidiary Distribution Center due to maintenance work on a high-tension pole.

The affected areas include Mahadevsthan, Itakhel, Ghumaune, Godam, Mangladoya, Nagdhunga, Chisapani, Basundole, Indrathan, Jhangajhiti, Kukhurechaur, Maheshpath, and nearby regions. The NEA noted that if the maintenance is completed ahead of schedule, electricity services may be restored earlier than planned.
