SALNet is overwhelmed to share that a lightning early warning system has installed and handed over to the most affected rural municipality (Raksirang) of Makawanpur district, Nepal, after successfully testing it at Nagarkot! This is the first project to have been implemented in Nepal as a pilot project with the generous support from People in Need Nepal. On behalf of the municipality we express gratitude to the PIN team!
In addition to the early warning system lightning protection system has been installed in three blocks of Shree Praja Jagriti school where the majority of students are from marginalized communities and two municipal blocks as per International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) guidelines.
We will consider it a great success if a life is saved from this effort and investment!
