Prime Minister Deuba stressed on the need to make the country a model by using electronic devices across the country. Stating that some power producers in Nepal do not have licenses, he urged them to acquire licenses.
“Why should we use gas stoves? We have enough electricity to drive any electric vehicle (EV) with a battery. We can drive buses with it. Our stove can also be an electric stove. I think we need to divert our attention toward electric appliances,” he said.
