Bihar News: Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Tuesday stated that the government will carry out beautification work on the Badua River in Banka district. While providing details, he stated that the construction will be done under the River Front Development Project, adding that the total cost of the project is likely to be Rs 15 crores.
