The construction of the Raxaul-Parwanipur 132-KV power transmission line has been completed.

The final checking of the towers, cable and other equipment of the transmission line that stretches from Raxaul to Parwanipur has started, project chief Laxmi Narayan Mukhiya said.

Two sub-stations have been constructed at a cost of Rs 210 million Indian currency with the investment by the Indian government. One sub-station each has been constructed at Raxaul of India and Parwanipur of Nepal.

The project chief Mukhiya said that power would be first fed to the central grid via this transmission line after conducting test transmission by the end of this month.

Birgunj Pathalaiya industrial corridor will be free from load-shedding with the operation of the Raxaul-Parwanipur transmission line, according to technicians. RSS
