Govt in Backdoor Talks with Left on Guv Choices
Govt in backdoor talks with left on guv choices The government has expedited backdoor negotiations with the left alliance for appointing governors for the seven provinces in consensus with the alliance, postponing a scheduled cabinet meeting to Wednesday. The cabinet meeting was to have been held Tuesday afternoon. According to highly placed sources, the government has asked the left alliance to recommend three of the governors--two from CPN-UML and one from CPN (Maoist Center)--for appointment by the cabinet meeting now scheduled for 9 a.m. Wednesday. The sources further claimed that the ruling Nepali Congress (NC) for its part would recommend three governors also. The Madhes-based parties would recommend the governor for Province-2. Commerce Minister Min Bahadur Biswakarma, who is among those in Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba's inner circle, admitted that the cabinet meeting was postponed with a view to taking the left alliance into confidence before the decision on governors. “The prime minister has been making a last-ditch effort to bring the UML, the Maoists and also the Madhes-based parties on board before appointing the governors,” Biswakarma told Republica. However, he didn't go into details. According to sources, Prime Minister Deuba has deployed party leaders Bimalendra Nidhi and Krishna Sitaula for negotiations with the left alliance. UML leader Bishnu Paudel and some others have also been involved in the negotiations for governatorial appointments. UML has staked a claim to at least three governors, said the sources. Rastriya Janata Party Nepal has already recommended Umakanta Jha for governor of Province-2. -

IBN Grants Generation Licence to SJVN Arun-III
Source: The Himalayan Times; 6 May 2018 IBN grants generation licence to SJVN Arun-III Foundation stone of the project scheduled to be laid during forthcoming visit of Indian PM The Investment Board Nepal (IBN) has awarded generation licence of the 900-megawatt Arun-III hydroelectric project to SJVN Arun-III Power Development Company — a subsidiary of Indian government-owned Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam Ltd. The foundation stone laying ceremony of the project is scheduled to take place during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming visit to Nepal. Indian Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to visit Nepal on May 11 and 12. The largest foreign direct investment (FDI) ever from India is going to be realised after laying the foundation stone to take forward the construction of the project. SJVN will invest $1.4 billion in Arun-III project and financial closure must be achieved by September 29 this year. SK Sharma, managing director of SJVN Arun-III Power Development Company, said that the project is ready to take off, with construction contract of lot-I (dam) and lot-II (power house) already awarded and the contractors have already started bringing construction materials to the project location. Arun-III is the largest capacity project in the history of hydroelectricity that is scheduled to be constructed within the next five years. The Indian government has so far approved investment of INR 57.24 billion proposed by SJVN in Arun-III. Arun-III is an export-oriented project and it will sell the electricity to India. However, it has to sign an agreement with power utilities in India to sell the power in a bid to achieve the financial closure. -
