District Magistrate Thiyagarajan S M took charge of a crucial Project Monitoring Group meeting in Patna on Tuesday. He conducted a thorough review of thirty major infrastructure developments currently underway in the district.
Focus on Major Transportation Projects
The meeting placed special emphasis on two significant transportation initiatives. These include the ongoing Patna Metro project and the Danapur-Bihta Elevated Corridor development. Officials provided detailed updates on both ventures during the session.
Current Status of Patna Metro
The Patna Metro's priority corridor has already become operational. It currently functions between Patliputra Bus Terminal and Malahi Pakri. This section represents a critical component of the larger metro network planned for the city.
Progress on Danapur-Bihta Corridor
For the Danapur-Bihta Elevated Corridor project, substantial compensation has reached landowners. Authorities have distributed approximately 184.32 crore rupees to 940 individuals whose land was acquired for the project.
Addressing Implementation Challenges
District Magistrate Thiyagarajan issued clear directives to attending officials. He instructed them to promptly resolve persistent issues related to land acquisition and encroachment. These obstacles have slowed progress on multiple infrastructure initiatives.
Expediting Compensation Payments
Officials received information about planned village-level camps. These camps will accelerate pending compensation payments for projects falling under the Bharatmala scheme. The approach aims to streamline the compensation distribution process.
Administrative Support for Project Completion
The district administration continues providing essential administrative support to various implementing agencies. This includes organizations like the National Highways Authority of India and Indian Railways. The support aims to ensure all projects meet their stipulated deadlines without unnecessary delays.
The comprehensive review covered multiple aspects of infrastructure development. District Magistrate Thiyagarajan emphasized the importance of timely completion for all thirty projects discussed during the meeting.
