Ex-king of Nepal will have his electricity cut if he doesn’t pay his bills:
Nepal’s former royals must pay unpaid bills of more than $1m within 15 days or power to their homes could be cut off, the state utility company says.
The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) says the former royals must pay arrears dating back several years for power to 22 palaces and bungalows.
It is a further blow to a family which ruled for centuries before the monarchy was abolished in May.
Chopping off their heads is a powerful tradition for dealing with superfluous monarchs it’s true, but you have to admire the utter and complete humiliation the Nepalese have inflicted here, to be cut off like the meanest commoner.
