Due to the drought, the shortage of drinking water has also increased the leakage of electricity and drinking water in Birgunj metropolitan area.

Nepal Electricity Authority Birganj Distribution Center is trying to control and regulate the trend of directly hooking electricity for deep boring. Center Chief Engineer Awadhesh Dubey said that most of the deep borings are being operated by hooking them up from the power transmission lines, so action has been initiated against them. "The authority is not against deep boring," he said, "but to run deep boring, electricity is not hooked up from the authority's transmission line because it increases chaos." He also raised this issue in the committee meeting of the District Disaster Management Committee on Sunday. He said. "The meeting has also decided that the meters will be installed within 24 hours if the consumer committees come with the necessary documents," he said.

In the same way, the abuse of water in the drinking water institute has also increased, says Praveen Kumar Sah, head of the Birganj branch of the institute. Sah said that around 1,000 taps are being installed and used without the permission of the institute in Radhemai, Nagwa and other places in Birganj. According to him, it has been found that water has been stolen and used illegally by taking advantage of the adverse situation. He said that he has informed the chief of the security agencies of the district and the chief district officer Ganesh Aryal several times in this regard.
