The operation of Hetauda Cement Factory that was halted since around one month has resumed.
The factory stopped operating after its pre-filter fan and electric motor broke down, said the industry's Deputy General Manager Nabin Kumar Karna, adding that operation resumed from Thursday after a repair.
Established in 2032 BS by the government, the factory started commercial cement production since 2043 BS.
It produces 12,000 to 16,000 sacks of cement on a daily basis, and has been supplying to various cities of the country, including Kathmandu, Pokhara, Bhairahawa, Dhangadhi, Nepalgunj and Biratnagar, Karna said.
Local people had complained that cement dust had affected their health and other normal life. The problem has been resolved now, said the factory's General Manager Basanta Raj Pandey.
