kulekhane hydro project-II
HETAUDA, APR 18 -
Power generation from 32 MW Kulekhane Hydro Project - II has been halted completely since Tuesday after fire damaged three transformers of powerhouse based in Bhainse VDC. The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) said that damage could lead to rise in load shedding hours.
The fire that broke out at 11:45 last night damaged the property worth Rs 50 million, as per the preliminary estimation. According to project officials, the fire broke out after high voltage at electrical bushings that connects transformer and transmission line.
“The bushings had exploded due to high voltage when one of the machines was in operation,” said Project chief Krishna Prashad Yadav. “The fire engulfed three transformers of the project.”
He said the details of the damage would be available only after a probe panel, formed for the purpose, submits its report. Personnel of the Nepal Army and Nepal Police and locals put out the fire after nearly two hours with the help of fire engines brought from Chitwan, Birgunj and Hetauda.
Officials said as the fire was promptly taken under the control, thus preventing damage to the project’s power house. “The delay in extinguishing the fire could have led to the total demolition of the power house,” said an official.
The transformers, imported from Korea at the time of the construction of the project, were repaired by Japanese technicians a couple of years ago after being damaged by lightening.
“It will take three days to open the damaged transformers,” said the technician, “Only then will we be in a position to tell how long it will take to repair them, the repairing cost and if it requires foreign technicians.”
Meanwhile, the NEA said though the power generation from the project would disrupt the energy supply, it is not in a position to say if there would be additional power cuts beyond the current 12 hours a day.
“Until we have a report on the damage, we cannot say for sure if there would be additional load shedding hours,” said Bhuwan Chettri, Chief of System Operation Department. According to NEA officials, the power supply will be managed by importing additional energy from India or by other means for the next few days. “If the project needs to be halted for long, we will come up with a new load shedding schedule or explore other avenues,” said Chettri.

makwanpur gadi
One of the mosst popular tourist spot of hetauda "MAKWANPUR GADHI" is the capital of Makwanpur district. it was ruled by king Hemkarna Sen . There is whole palace of which shows the culture and religion which used to be followed by the people living their. It was build in the top of the mountain so that enemy cant attack easily.
The Makwanpur gadhi , which lies in about 17 kilometers north from Hetauda is the great achievement of the Sen dynasty. Before the unification of Nepal “The Sen dynasty” ruled over Makwanpur till 1819 B.S. Then ruler of Palpa “Mukunda Sen” divided his huge state into four parts among his four sons and so Makwanpur came under his youngest son “Lohang Sen”. The another king of the same regime “Tula Sen” constructed the Makwanpur gadhi during his ruling period. Later on his grand daughter, Indra Kumari was married to King Prithivi Narayan Shah of Gorkha State, who annexed Makwanpur to Gorkha in 1819.
There are two castles in the fort, one is called the “Mool Gadhi” (the main fort) and other is “Sanno Gadhi” (the small fort). About 35 years ago, there was a palace called “Jungey Darbar”, which had its own supernatural beauty and it was an important belonging of the “Sen Dynasty”. But instead of conserving the historical monument, the later Sen king used the palace (Jungey Darbar) for their personal uses. Having historical and cultural importance, The Makwanpur Fort is a very precious wealth of Makwanpur district. 25 feet high and 7 feet wide wall surround the fort. There is a 10 feet deep canal, which was constructed in order to protect themselves from the enemies. In order to protect the fort, some soldiers were in duty but now there is no any soldier and many of the monuments had been lost.Among those the heart of this gadhi The Lord krishna which had been called by the name bangashagopal was robbed.

Hetauda
Hetauda (Nepal: हेटौडा) is a town in the Makwanpur district of the Narayani Zone in southern Nepal. It is also the administrative headquarters of the Makwanpur district. The city has 84.671 inhabitants. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 53,836 people living in 10,420 individual households.
It is 132 km from the capital Kathmandu via the old Tribhuvan highway. There are now two alternate roads that are less than 80 km. They are, however, not black topped yet. The city is enclosed by three rivers, the Rapti to the west, the Samari to the north and the Karra to the south. It is one the important industrial regions of Nepal. The settlement started due to its location at Tribhuvan highway, and later was the meeting point of another major national highway - East-West Highway.
Hetauda is considered one of the cleanest and greenest cities in Nepal, although there is no official data to support this claim. Due to its geographical features and its climate, it has been a popular choice for people migrating from the northern hilly regions to the south and from the southern Terai region, hence its causing increase in the population every year. Hetauda is situated in a unique geographical structure called doon, which means that it has a geography like a valley. It is surrounded by hills: the Mahabharata range in the north and the Siwalik range in the south. The rivers Rapti, Samari and Karra run through the city and flow southwest to meet Narayani, one of the bigger and popular rivers in the nation.
It is an hour drive from the Nepalese border city of Birgunj, which is adjacent to its Indian counterpart, Raxaul. Both the existing highways to the capital city Kathmandu - Tribhuwan Highway and the East-West Highway, Mahendra Highway that trails the length of the nation - traverse through this city. With so many entry and exit points leading in and out of this town, Hetauda is set to grow into a commercial powerhouse if only the country realized its potential.
As the government body; District Forest Office Makwanpur, District Soil Conservation Office Makwanpur and District Plant Resources Office Makwanpur, under the Ministry of Forests and Soil Conservation, are situated in the district headquarter Hetauda. Some I/NGOs are also giving some support in the sustainable development of the forest resources in the area.
