In a significant development for infrastructure in Bihar, the state administration has officially renamed a major connectivity project. The crucial six-lane bridge built across the Ganga River, connecting crucial points like Kachchi Dargah and Bidupur, will now be known as 'Nitish Setu'. This renaming honors the political legacy and contributions of former Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, marking a notable chapter in the state's regional development initiatives.
Announcement by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary
The official announcement regarding the bridge's new identity was made public by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary through a statement on social media. He detailed that the state government decided to name the infrastructure project 'Nitish Setu' as a tribute to the former leader. The bridge spans across the river to bridge gaps between key areas like Raghopur and Bidupur, aiming to ease commuter movement significantly.
Inauguration by Prime Minister Narendra Modi
The newly christened bridge is set to open for public use through a high-profile inauguration. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Bihar on November 21 to dedicate 'Nitish Setu' to the nation. Alongside this major launch, the Prime Minister will also unveil foundation stones and inaugurate several other developmental and public welfare projects during a scheduled public event in Rajapakar.
