Electricity production from the 9.98 MW Upper Mai Hydropower Project, promoted by Panchakanya Mai Hydropower Limited, has come to a halt.
The project, located in Sandakpur Rural Municipality of Ilam district, faced an unexpected disruption on Baisakh 7 when the main hole at the tunnel outlet suddenly burst in the afternoon, leading to an immediate stoppage of power generation.
The company has not yet provided detailed information on the extent of the damage or the timeline for resuming operations. Further technical assessment and repair works are expected to determine when electricity production can be restored.
