Major Projects in Bihar
PM Modi will begin his visit in Gaya. Here, he will inaugurate the much-awaited Aunta–Simaria bridge on the River Ganga. This 1.86 km six-lane bridge, built at a cost of ₹1,870 crore, will reduce travel distance for heavy vehicles by over 100 km. It will also improve connectivity to Simaria Dham, an important pilgrimage site and birthplace of poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar.
Alongside, the Prime Minister will inaugurate the Bakhtiyarpur–Mokama four-lane highway section</strong, worth ₹1,900 crore. This will ease congestion and reduce travel time for both passengers and freight movement. He will also launch upgrades on the Bikramganj–Dawath–Dumraon road to boost rural connectivity.
A major highlight will be the inauguration of the Buxar Thermal Power Plant, built at a cost of ₹6,880 crore. With a 660 MW capacity, the plant will strengthen energy supply in Bihar and improve electricity availability for households and industries.
In healthcare, the Prime Minister will inaugurate the Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Centre at Muzaffarpur. The facility will include advanced oncology wards, operating theatres, labs, and a 24-bed ICU. Patients in Bihar and neighboring states will now have access to world-class cancer treatment without traveling to metros.
Urban and Water Projects
Under the Namami Gange program, PM Modi will inaugurate a sewage treatment plant and network at Munger worth ₹520 crore. This will cut pollution in the Ganga and improve sanitation in the region.
