A significant expose has revealed the illegal trade of electricity company wires in Bihar. This discovery points to a larger network of power theft and misuse of government property within the state. An investigation by Dainik Bhaskar brought to light how wires meant for the electricity company's use are being stolen or acquired through other illicit means and then sold in the open market.

This illicit trade not only causes substantial financial losses to the electricity department but also disrupts the power supply system. It is frequently observed that electricity wires are stolen in both rural and urban areas, leading to prolonged power outages and inconvenience for consumers. This revelation clarifies that an organized gang is behind these thefts, operating a network for the buying and selling of stolen wires.

Investigations indicate that certain scrap dealers and other intermediaries are involved in this illegal business. They purchase stolen wires at low prices and then resell them for a profit. These wires are often used for illegal connections or sold for their metal content to make money.

Following this revelation, pressure has mounted on the electricity department and local administration to conduct a thorough investigation and take strict action against those involved. It is also crucial for the electricity company to adopt more effective measures to secure its assets, thereby curbing such thefts and illegal trading. Consumers have been urged to immediately inform authorities if they become aware of any such illicit activities.
