During his visit to Bihar, the Prime Minister will be in Gaya to inaugurate and lay the foundation stones of projects worth over Rs 13,000 crore. These include the four-lane Bakhtiyarpur to Mokama section of NH-31, the Buxar Thermal Power Plant, sewerage treatment plants, and sewerage networks.

In a post on social media platform X, PM Modi stated, "I look forward to being in Gaya, where works worth over Rs. 13,000 crore will be inaugurated or their foundation stones will be laid. The projects include the four-lane Bakhtiyarpur to Mokama section of NH-31, Buxar Thermal Power Plant, Sewerage Treatment Plants and Sewerage Networks."

Furthermore, the Prime Minister will also inaugurate the Homu Bhabha Cancer Hospital and research centre at Muzaffarpur, which will boost health infrastructure for the people of the state.

Additionally, two trains, the Amrit Bharat Express running between Gaya and Delhi, and the Buddhist Circuit Train running between Vaishali and Koderma, will be flagged off during the visit.

"It is gladdening that the Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital & Research Centre will be inaugurated at Muzaffarpur. This will boost health infrastructure for the people of Bihar. Equally crucial are the two trains that would be flagged off, which are the Amrit Bharat Express between Gaya and Delhi, and the Buddhist Circuit Train between Vaishali and Koderma," the post by the PM on X read.

The Aunta-Simaria bridge project on NH 31 will also be inaugurated, including the 1.86 km long 6 lane bridge over the Ganga river, the construction cost of which is Rs 1,870 crore, and will provide direct connectivity between Mokama in Patna and Begusarai.

The new bridge has been built parallel to the old two-lane dilapidated rail-cum-road bridge, Rajendra Setu, which is in poor condition and has forced heavy vehicles to take longer detours. This bridge will reduce the extra travel distance of over 100 km for heavy vehicles moving between North Bihar (Begusarai, Supaul, Madhubani, Purnea, Araria) and South Bihar (Sheikhpura, Nawada, Lakhisarai) and help ease traffic congestion caused by detours.

The cancer hospital in Muzaffarpur is much needed. People from North Bihar had to travel to Patna or Delhi for treatment. This will save lives and reduce financial burden on families. Healthcare infrastructure is crucial development.

Hope these projects get completed on time. We've seen many foundation stones laid but work gets delayed for years. Proper monitoring and timely execution is what we need, not just announcements.

The Buddhist Circuit train is a smart move! Will boost tourism in Bihar and help local economy. Gaya and surrounding areas have so much potential for spiritual tourism that remains untapped.

Sewerage treatment plants are not glamorous but absolutely essential for public health. Many cities in Bihar suffer from poor sanitation. This is real ease of living improvement for common people.

While infrastructure development is welcome, I hope the thermal power plant follows proper environmental norms. We need development but not at the cost of people's health and environment. Balanced approach is needed.
