Bihar’s path to world-class roads hit a high gear as Minister Dilip Jaiswal issued a dramatic three-month challenge to his department’s engineers and contractors. Any pothole discovered post-deadline spells doom for the culprits.
Jaiswal, addressing a graduating audience, pulled no punches on quality control. He spotlighted Saturday’s blacklist of JKM Infra Projects, the long-time handler of the India-Nepal frontier road. Extensions piled up, but excuses ran out—now they’re sidelined.
“Reputation means nothing without results,” Jaiswal declared, noting the statewide buzz from his pen stroke. Ongoing works like the Kishanganj-Bahadurganj broadening, Taiyabpur overbridge, and four-laning Baisi-Amaur-Galgalia promise excellence nationwide.
He linked infrastructure to prosperity, echoing CM Nitish Kumar’s massive job pledge dominated by industrial growth. Jaiswal flagged education and development deficits, vowing priority acceleration for Seemanchal.
The platform hosted Governor Arif Mohammad Khan, Minister Ashok Chaudhary, and regional voices, amplifying the call for transformative roads.
