Rs. 389-crore Bihar dam collapses during trial ahead of inauguration by Nitish Kumar
The dam was built as part of the Gateshwar Panth Canal Project at Bateshwarsthan in Bhagalpur district for providing irrigation facilities in thTe state and neighbouring Jharkhand.
Nitish Kumar was scheduled to inaugurate the project on Wednesday.
“The proposed programme of the Chief Minister at Bhagalpur tomorrow has been cancelled due to technical reasons,” an official statement of Bihar government said.
Alleging corruption, RJD workers burnt an effigy of Kumar in Bhagalpur.
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav attacked Kumar on Twitter, saying, “Rs 389.31 crore dam collapses 24 hours before the inauguration. CM was to inaugurate it with much fanfare. One more dam collapses due of corruption.”
