A review meeting was held under the chairmanship of Road Construction Minister Nitin Naveen to ensure timely repair of roads damaged due to ongoing development projects in Patna. The meeting saw participation from officials of the Road Construction Department, Urban Development and Housing Department, and Budco.
Minister Naveen directed that all damaged roads in the capital must be repaired by May 30 without fail. He emphasised that any delay in repairing roads left dug up by various departments or agencies would not be tolerated. He also instructed that all open manholes and pits at construction sites be immediately covered or filled to ensure public safety.
