In January 2078, Chandrapur Municipality awarded a contract for the extraction of gravel, sand and stone from the Bagmati river. Bagmati Municipality of Sarlahi did not let them pick up the contract after Chandrapur placed the contract on the southern channel of the river. After starting to export from some other areas, Chandrapur, another Brindavan municipality, tried to stop it there too, claiming it as its territory. The border dispute between Chandrapur, Bagmati and Brindavan municipalities that started since then has not been resolved yet. Since the dispute could not be resolved, Chandrapur has not been able to contract for river goods for three years.

After Chandrapur signed a contract for the export of stone, sand and gravel for 18.1 million in the southern border of Bagmati in 2078, the Bagmati and Brindavan municipalities protested and did not allow the export, saying that the contract was placed in the river under their borders. The then city chief of Bagmati municipality, Bharat Thapa, reached the river and protested. The district administration also tried to stop the dispute. 

Since then, there has been a protest in the executive meeting of Chandrapur saying that the internal income has been affected by not being able to make contracts. Now, a committee has been formed under the coordination of Chandrapur city chief Sanjay Kafle with deputy chief Jaymala Chaudhary to resolve the dispute. Kirannidhi Tiwari, chief administrative officer of Chandrapur, said that the committee is preparing to hold talks with the mayors of Brindavan and Bagmati. "Due to the border dispute, we have not been able to sign a contract for the export of river products for three years," he said, "Soon the heads of all three local levels will sit down and resolve the dispute."  

After three local levels began to claim the same river area as their own, the dispute has not been resolved . Since Chandrapur, Brindavan and Bagmati have claimed the western region of the river as their own, there has been a dispute for seven years. Although all the three municipalities have been contracting for mining in that area, none of them are able to extract it . This is the reason why the contract for the export of river goods is being affected, said Kafle, head of Chandrapur city. We are trying to settle the border dispute. "We will leave the discussion soon," he said, "It should not be made a political EC ." You have to sit and find a solution to the problem.' 

The then city chief of Bagmati, Thapa, has been maintaining a stand that he will not allow excavation under any circumstances as the western region falls under his territory as seen by GPS technology. He made the water flow from the west by using excavators in the river . Brindavan and Chandrapur Municipalities objected after the river flowing from the east area was diverted to the west by crossing a normal dam and ditch. After that, a team including the then Chief District Officer Kiran Thapa went to see the place.

After Thapa, the head of the city, took the stand of not allowing the extraction of river-related material from his area, the administration team returned immediately . Since then the dispute has not been resolved . Brindavan municipality has also been contracting annual gravel-sand in that area. But city chief Vinod Patel said that there is a problem due to the obstruction of Bagmati Municipality. "There is no option to sit down and find a solution," he said. A solution should be found sitting on a sensitive issue like the border. The dispute should be settled through GPS.' The area contracted by Chandrapur has also been claimed by Brindavan as its own.
