Why in News?

On July 1, 2023, Bihar's Water Resources and Information & Public Relations Minister Sanjay Kumar Jha said that on the lines of Marine Drive built on the banks of river Ganga in Patna, the banks of Bagmati river will also be developed in Darbhanga.

Key Points:

• Sanjay Kumar Jha directed the officials to plant saplings in the direction of greening the surrounding areas.
• By planting trees around the Ghats, people will get a clean environment. Pollution will also be curbed. The pier will be further levelled, so that people will be able to walk easily.
• A pathway will be built like Marine Drive on the banks of the river. Chatariya village is an urban area. If it is constructed like Marine Drive, then people around will get a better option for walking.
