The matter of collapse of the super structure of Sultanganj-Aguwani Ghat bridge in Bhagalpur was not settled yet that the foundation of an under-construction bridge in Kishanganj suddenly caved in. This incident has once again raised questions on the quality of work. At the same time, regarding the construction of this bridge, now the Grand Alliance government of Bihar has surrounded and targeted the BJP government at the center. The way the footings of this bridge over the Menchi river sank even before its inauguration, the Bharatmala project has definitely put a brake on it.

Traveling to Nepal and Bengal will be easy
With the construction of a four-lane road between Araria and Galgaliya, another road will be found parallel to Bihar and Nepal. In case of emergency, this road will serve as an alternative to NH 57. On the other hand, apart from Araria, it will be easier to travel to Nepal and Bengal from many other districts including Supaul, Madhubani, Darbhanga, Muzaffarpur. Let us inform that right now the distance between Bagdogra to Araria via Thakurganj is 129 kms. While the distance from Bagdogra to Araria via Purnia is 208 kms. By this route the distance is reduced by 79 kms.
