Bihar is poised for a major infrastructure and development boost with Prime Minister Narendra Modi set to launch projects worth over ₹40,000 crore in Purnia. The Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary confirmed the upcoming visit, noting that the Prime Minister’s engagements often include substantial financial commitments for Bihar’s development. The focus of the visit on September 15th will include the inauguration of a new interim terminal at Purnia Airport, signifying the commencement of commercial flights and improved regional connectivity.
