In Rohtas district, officials from the Water Resources and Forest Departments clashed over access to the Karamchat Dam road, with the former citing maintenance work and the latter raising objections.
The Karamchat Dam, located in Rohtas district of Bihar, has become the centre of a dispute between two state departments.
Water Resources Department officials have blocked access to the dam’s service road, citing ongoing maintenance work that requires restricted entry for safety reasons.
The Forest Department, responsible for protecting the surrounding forest area, objected to the blockage, arguing that it hampers routine patrols and could affect ecological monitoring.
The two departments are currently negotiating a solution, with local authorities urging a swift resolution to avoid further disruption to both infrastructure upkeep and forest management.
