Water supply in Baglung Bazaar insufficient for the growing population

The construction of several small scale projects over the years has not been able to solve the drinking water crisis in Baglung Bazaar that has seen rapid urbanisation and a rise in population.

For the residents of Baglung Bazaar, the headquarters of Baglung district, shortage of clean drinking water is a decades-old problem. The area, home to prominent political representatives, administrators and businesspersons, has been under drinking water shortage for the past five decades despite the authorities spending hundreds of thousands of rupees on various water projects.
