ARJUN POUDEL
KATHMANDU, Jan 14: The Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) has decided to provide solar panels to its ward offices, as the 11 hours of daily power cut is halting daily administrative work. The problem has been compounded by the fact that all the ward offices in the metropolis are not computerized.
