The Samrat Choudhary First Cabinet Meeting approved 22 major decisions aimed at improving infrastructure, tourism, and urban development in Bihar. The meeting marked the first cabinet session of Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary after he took office.
In the Samrat Choudhary First Cabinet Meeting, the state government approved ₹680 crore to develop a corridor around Baba Hariharnath Temple in Sonepur. The project will follow the model of the famous Kashi Vishwanath Corridor in Varanasi and aims to boost tourism in the region.
The cabinet also approved the development of 11 greenfield satellite townships across major cities. These include Patna, Gaya, Darbhanga, Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur, Purnia, Saharsa, Sitamarhi and Chhapra to promote planned urban growth. Until the master plan is ready, land sale and construction activities in these zones will remain restricted.
Several other proposals were cleared during the meeting. The government approved scooters for 1,500 women police personnel and motorcycles for 3,200 other police staff to strengthen security. It also decided to upgrade 75 ITIs into modern skill training centres and approved funds for a research park at IIT Patna.
These decisions highlight the new government’s focus on infrastructure development, employment generation, and better urban planning in Bihar.
