The Federal Water Supply and Sewerage Management Project Office in Myagdi has been abolished. According to the ministerial decision of the Ministry of Water Supply dated 19th of Chait 2081, the office in Beni is going to be merged with Pokhara from the 1st of July.

  An office was established in Beni in 2077 for the implementation of water and sewage management projects conducted by the federal government in Magdi, Baglung and Mustang districts. Through the

office, there is a policy arrangement to implement projects related to water supply and sewage management in Himalayan districts with a population of more than 1,000 and in mountainous districts with a population of more than 5,000. With the start of implementation of the much-awaited large Ghoptekhola and Chimkhola-Piple-Bhagwati water supply projects in Myagdi, it is said that the project implementation office will be shifted to Pokhara. In the

office, there are posts of three engineers, three sub-engineers, one accountant, one deputy subba, one computer operator, one office assistant and one light vehicle driver under the leadership of a senior divisional engineer. The head of the project, Sanam Shrestha, informed that according to the circular of the ministry, the office will be operated from Pokhara from the 1st of July.

In 2074/075, many water supply projects in Myagdi were stalled after the then water supply and sanitation division office was abolished. Kham Bahadur Garbuza, Member of Parliament elected from Myagdi and Minister of State for Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, said that he is taking initiatives to postpone the decision as there will be problems in the implementation of old projects when the office is transferred to Pokhara.

"I have continuously called the water minister and pressured him to maintain the office of Myagdi," he said. Political parties active in Myagdi, provincial and local level people's representatives have also demanded the withdrawal of the government's decision to relocate the water supply and sewage management office.

Chairman of CPN UML Myagdi, Balkrishna Subedi, said that the office should remain in Myagdi to complete the large drinking water project that has started. CPN (Maoist Centre) district in-charge Govind Paudel warned that he would start a protest if the ministerial decision to remove the drinking water office here is not reversed.
