Xinhua, Kathmandu :
A hard line faction of Nepal’s Maoists party has protested against the Nepal government’s recent signing of major power deal with Indian government by burning the copy of the agreement here, party officials said Friday.
An alliance of 47 parties in country’s capital Kathmandu, under the leadership of UCPN-Maoists, burn the copy of the agreement stating that the recent power deal with India called, “Agreement on Electric Power Trade and Cross-Border Transmission Interconnection and Grid Connectivity” was not in the interest of Nepal but of India.
Nepal and India had finally clinched the much anticipated power trading deal on September 5 that will be effective for 25 years enabling both nations to import-export hydro energy among each other.
