The Commission formed to investigate the incidents of September 8 and 9, 2025 has stated that there is no need to wait for the commission's report to investigate and take action against those involved in criminal offences.

A statement issued by Commission member Bigyan Raj Sharma on Tuesday states that the Commission’s attention has been drawn by the  September 25 statement by the Ministry of Home Affairs which stated that the Government of Nepal would wait for the Commission's report to proceed further in regards to the incidents that took place during the Gen Z movement. 

It also reminds one and all that the Commission was mandated to receive and analyze information or petitions related to physical and human damage caused during the two-day revolt, and provide necessary opinions regarding the action that needs to be taken.

It may be noted that as per the popular demand, the Commission was formed by the Government to investigate the physical and human damages that took place across the country, including Kathmandu, during the ‘Gen Z’ protests and submit a report on it. 

The Commission began its task on September 25.

Minister for Energy, Water Resources and irrigation, Kulman Ghising, has directed concerned officials to make the electricity system further reliable, of quality, safe and customer-friendly. 

Minister Ghising asked the concerned officials to address the demands of general people along with short-term, mid-term and long-term policy and program, citing complaints regarding problems in power supply from different places of the country are being received. 

Stressing the need of resuming power supply after carrying out repair and maintenance of the structures damaged by recent floods and landslides immediately, he opined, " There should not be  any delay in bringing policy and program in a planned manner in order to bring transmission line and sub-stations into operation in full capacity, paying special attention in construction of 220 kV Hetauda-Dhalkebar transmission line under Marsyangdi corridor and managing electricity for coming winter season."    

While inspecting the electricity center in Syuchatar, Kathmandu, he acquired information on the condition of electricity generation, transmission and distribution systems across the country, grid operation, electricity demand and supply management, electricity export, and electricity projects damaged by floods and landslides, among other things. 

NEA Executive Director Manoj Silwal briefed Minister Ghising about electricity generation, demand, supply, export, system operation status, and related issues, expressing a commitment to leave no stone unturned in efficient electricity management.

Executive Director Silwal clarified that the NEA family is committed to repairing structures damaged by floods and landslides and resuming electricity services with a team of technical personnel on standby, being economical and making maximum use of resources to solve the problems of the general public and service users.

The Koshi Province Government today dispatched various relief materials for the flood and landslide-affected people in Ilam district. 

Secretary at the Koshi Province Ministry of Internal Affairs and Law, Ram Prasad Acharya, said that the relief materials have been sent to the district on a Nepal Army helicopter as it was not feasible to supply the aid via road transport at present.
