A power department employee in Kishanganj district was found drunk while on duty. The incident came to light after a local MLA informed the police, leading to the employee's swift arrest.

According to reports, the employee was allegedly consuming alcohol at his workplace in Kishanganj. The local MLA, upon receiving this information, took the matter seriously and promptly informed the police. Acting on the MLA's tip-off, a police team arrived at the scene, investigated, and arrested the power department employee in an intoxicated state.

Bihar has a strict prohibition law, making the consumption of alcohol in public places or while on duty a serious offense. For government employees, this is considered even more severe misconduct. This arrest sends a clear message that strict action will be taken against those who violate the law, regardless of their departmental affiliation.

Police stated that a medical test confirmed the employee's alcohol consumption. A case has been registered against him under relevant sections, and further legal proceedings are underway. This incident raises questions about the work ethic and discipline of employees within the power department. It is expected that the department will also conduct an internal investigation and take necessary steps to prevent the recurrence of such incidents in the future. This event also highlights the government's efforts to strictly enforce prohibition in Bihar.
