Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary met Union Minister Nitin Gadhari to discuss building a permanent bridge linking Sitabadiya, the birthplace of Jayaprakash Narayan, with Rivilganj, as part of three major development plans.
Sitabadiya, the birthplace of freedom fighter Jayaprakash Narayan, lies in a remote part of Bihar that lacks direct road connectivity to major towns.
Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary met Union Minister Nitin Gadhari in Patna to discuss the construction of a permanent bridge that would link Sitabadiya with the town of Rivilganj, a key transport hub in the region.
The bridge is part of a trio of development projects demanded by local leaders, aimed at boosting tourism, improving access to education and healthcare, and stimulating economic activity.
Chaudhary assured that the proposal would be forwarded to the central government for approval and funding, with the expectation that construction could begin in the coming months.
