The load-shedding hours in the Valley is likely to be reduced from the next week, said an officer at the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) on Saturday.

"We are very positive to reduce the power cut hours as the water level in the rivers has risen. In the last two days, we have experienced a rise in water level. We hope we can make an announcement about reduced power cut hours next week," said Sher Shing Bhat, chief of NEA Power Dispatch Division.

The NEA has already reduced some load-shedding hours in the Kathmandu Valley in the last two days, without any announcement.

In February 1, the NEA had imposed 46.5 hours of power cut every week and power outage was reduced by one hour each day on February 28.
