Birendranagar reels under acute water scarcity

Residents say in all of the municipality’s 16 wards, water is being supplied for just once or twice a week, which is woefully inadequate.

Rama Bhandari, a resident of Bangesimal in ward 2 of Birendranagar Municipality in Surkhet district, has been struggling to manage water for household consumption for the past one month. Water is supplied only once or twice a week to the tap at her house and that also for a limited time which is not enough to meet her needs, she says.
