GULMI: A hydro power project in Daram River in Gulmi has resumed operation albeit temporarily after monsoon-triggered landslides swept away the dam and channel three weeks ago.

"The Daram Khola Micro Hydro Power Project temporarily reconstructed its dam and channel for immediate resumption of operation," said Dharmendra Kumar Malla, Chairman of Electricity Operation Committee

With the resumption of the operation of the project with a total capacity to generate 85 KW power, around 900 households in wards 2, 7 and 8 along with four other wards including ward 2 of Badigadh Rural Municipality in the neighboring district of Balung are able to turn on their lights.

The supply of electricity has also brought the industries, factories, media outlets and the electronic gadgets back to operation.
