NEA did not respond
We requested the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) to respond to the following questions in relation to the Tamakoshi V Hydroelectric Project:
- How does NEA plan to address allegations of forced land acquisition and inadequate compensation for affected communities, particularly Indigenous Tamang populations, which reportedly violate international standards such as the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP)?
- What is NEA’s response to reports of state-sponsored violence, including arbitrary arrests, intimidation, and injuries to peaceful protesters opposing the project, and how does this align with NEA’s commitment to upholding human rights?
- What specific measures has NEA implemented to ensure that the environmental and social impacts of the Tamakoshi-Kathmandu Transmission Line Project are thoroughly assessed and mitigated, given the allegations of negligence in these areas?
NEA did not respond.
