Kathmandu, September

Former Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has lauded the government’s decision to re-award the development contract of the 1200 MW Budhi Gandaki project to a Chinese firm.

Dahal’s comment comes days after a Cabinet meeting directed the Ministry of Energy to revive the conversation with China Gezhouba Group to re-award the contract, which was cancelled by the Sher Bahadur Deuba-led government.

The government decided to give the assignment back to Gezhouba after it filed an application requesting to reconsider Deuba’s decision. Sources at the Ministry of Energy say the government has called the Chinese company to come to Kathmandu for negotiations. After that, the government will sign the contract.

“The project has reached the same point it was on when I was Prime Minister,” said Dahal speaking at a programme in Chitwan.
