CONGRATULATIONS!!!

7^th February, 2012, has become a memorable date which deserves to be engraved on golden plate. On this very day Union minister of road transport and highways C.P. Joshi and Bihar CM Nitish Kumar jointly dedicated the ‘Mahasetu’ (built over the Kosi, the curse of Bihar) to the people. This bridge connects the two parts of Greater Mithila. This will take one from Madhubani to Supaul in less than two hours instead of the earlier ten hours. This bridge has come as a bonanza to the local people as it will certainly give a major boost to transportation, trade and commerce along with cultural and social ties that snapped eight decades (almost 78 years) ago.

It is worth noting that the 487km stretch of the East West Corridor project in Bihar passing through this bridge begins from Gopalganj, criss-crossing East Champaran, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga, Madhubani, Saharsa, Supaul, Araria and Purnea before making entry in Bengal.

On this pious occasion the praiseworthy remarks by Nitish Kumar must be mentioned. He said that the event should be celebrated like Holi, Diwali and Id.

This giant friend of the people will definitely be a milestone in the development of Bihar.

CHEERS!!!
