Bihar approves flood study, sugar mill land and sports funds
Bihar's cabinet approved a memorandum between its Water Resources Department and the National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, for a flood plain zone study. It also cleared 115 acres for a sugar mill, Rs 12 crore for Bihar State Games 2026, and an underground road in Patna.
ContextContext: Bihar faces floods almost every year from rivers such as the Kosi and Gandak, so mapping flood-prone zones helps decide where it is safe to build. The other approvals are routine decisions by the state cabinet on land, sport and roads.
