POKHARA:

Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry Chairperson Pradip Jung Pande today reiterated that the private sector is all committed to rid the country of load-shedding in three years’ time.

Inaugurating the annual general assembly of the Western Regional Chamber of Commerce here today, the FNCCI chair expressed his serious concerns over the excessively long hour of power cuts facing the nation at present.

“Since the power cuts have crippled the industrial sector, we along with the government are planning to do the needful to create conducive environment to attract more private investment in the power sector,” Pande informed.

On a different note, he pointed out the need of unity among the entrepreneurs in order to promote their interests and uplift the economy.

FNCCI former chair Chandiraj Dhakal and other dignitaries had also spoken during the programme, expressing their views about the immense untapped business potential in the country.
