Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to commence a three-day trip to Bihar, emphasizing border security, administrative readiness, and ongoing development projects in the Seemanchal region. This region shares borders with Nepal and Bangladesh. Bihar Minister Ashok Chaudhary mentioned that Shah’s visit aims to assess the border areas with Nepal and Bangladesh due to increased activity by drug peddlers from Nepal.
During his visit, Shah will inspect security measures in border districts and conduct high-level meetings with officials regarding issues along the India-Nepal border. He will first arrive in Purnia around 4:00 P.M. and then proceed to Kishanganj for a review meeting at the Collectorate.
Neeraj Kumar, a JD(U) spokesperson, highlighted the developmental aspect of the visit, noting significant infrastructural developments in the Seemanchal region. LJP MLA Raju Tiwari welcomed Shah’s visit, emphasizing the government’s responsibility towards the people, especially in Seemanchal. RLM MLA Madhav Anand mentioned Shah’s consistent concern for Bihar’s residents and his personal oversight of central government schemes in the state.
On February 26, Shah will visit Araria and participate in a program at the Letti border outpost, followed by security assessments and a review of development initiatives under the Vibrant Villages Programme. The tour will end on February 27 after additional meetings in Purnia before Shah’s return to New Delhi. Stringent security measures have been implemented ahead of the visit.
