As many as 40,000 households of 42 VDCs and a municipality each in Mahottari and Dhanusha districts have been deprived of electricity services from Tuesday.
According to the NEA, Jaleshwor branch, the power supply was obstructed after India’s Muzaffarpur Power Station and surrounding transmission lines went kaput.
