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. https://x.com/narendramodi/status/1958464878701629776
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.
