The Khumbuwan Liberation Front (KLF) blows up a 250 kilowatt hydroelectric powerhouse in Nepal’s Bhojpur District, cutting off power to Bhojpur and surrounding areas. The damages take 6 months to repair and cost 10 million Rs (US $120,000). During 2002, Maoist rebels destroy more than seven micro-hydro projects, a water-supply intake, and supply pipelines to Khalanga in western Nepal.
