NEW DELHI: As Sher Bahadur Deuba arrives here on his first visit as Prime Minister this week, Nepal wants India to devote it the kind of full-spectrum attention that New Delhi showered on Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.Deuba will be here between August 23-27, and India and Nepal will headline a "partnership". This week, India plans to inaugurate two more transmission points at Raxaul-Parwanipur and Kushaha-Kattaiya, to give more electricity. When Nepal is in a position to export electricity, these lines can be used to export electricity to India. India will promise the Postal Road through the Terai which will now be done by contractors from Nepal. This move was clearly aimed at discouraging other countries, particularly China, from investing in Nepal's hydropower projects.
