Electricity supply in Doti and Achham districts has been cut off as Dipayal-based Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) distribution centre caught fire on Wednesday.

The NEA staffers suspected that a lightening might have caused the fire. According to NEA employee Sher Bahadur Kathayat, feeder and incomer machines were incinerated. It would take at least three days for the power supply to resume, he said. (PR)
