Nitish Kumar, gearing up for a potential Rajya Sabha shift, has been actively assessing development initiatives in Bihar. Recently, he visited Malsalami in Patna to oversee the progress of an approach road construction project. During the inspection, Kumar inquired about the project’s timeline and urged officials to ensure timely completion.
Accompanied by senior officials and Minister Vijay Kumar Choudhary, Nitish Kumar emphasized the importance of adhering to the project’s designated timeframe. His nomination for the Rajya Sabha on March 5 has not deterred his commitment to reviewing various infrastructure projects in the state.
In a recent inspection near Bakhtiyarpur Engineering College on March 7, the Chief Minister directed officials to expedite the construction of a Railway Overbridge (ROB). Once operational, the ROB will link the old Patna–Bakhtiyarpur highway (SH-106) with the four-lane Patna–Bakhtiyarpur highway (NH-30), significantly improving travel efficiency for residents.
Nitish Kumar’s visit also included overseeing the construction progress of a new building at Ganesh Higher Secondary School in Bakhtiyarpur. He urged officials to hasten the completion to benefit students. Additionally, he inspected a park development near the statue of late freedom fighter Dumra Singh, stressing the need for prompt project completion.
The Chief Minister’s review extended to the ongoing construction of the Bakhtiyarpur (Karjan)–Tajpur (Samastipur) bridge across the Ganga River. He highlighted the bridge’s role in enhancing connectivity between North and South Bihar, urging officials to expedite the project.
On March 8, Nitish Kumar kickstarted a tunnel project worth Rs 542 crore connecting the Bihar Museum and the Patna Museum. This tunnel, once operational, will facilitate seamless travel between the museums, enhancing tourist exploration of Bihar’s rich history, culture, and heritage.
