Number-6 electric tower along the Khadichaur-Andhari section of 66-KV transmission line linked to Bhaktapur from Sunkoshi has collapsed on Saturday morning.

It has disrupted the supply of around 5-MW power generated from the Sunkoshi Hydropower House to Kathmandu.

The tower was in fragile condition.

Spokesperson of the Nepal Electricity Authority Prabal Adhikari said that a technical team has been deputed to the site for maintenance.
