Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar embarked on his 'Samridhi Yatra' on Saturday, announcing a slew of developmental projects worth approximately Rs 480 crore in Begusarai and Sheikhpura districts. The initiatives aim to bolster infrastructure and industrial growth in the region.

In Begusarai, Kumar inaugurated and laid foundation stones for over 400 projects valued at Rs 274 crore, which include significant investments in healthcare infrastructure such as a government medical college and hospital. He stressed the importance of completing the hospital swiftly for timely medical assistance to locals.

While the focus was on development, a stray bull disrupted proceedings at a helipad, causing a commotion among security personnel. The incident, however, was downplayed by officials as not constituting a security breach. Further expansion efforts were launched in Sheikhpura with projects totaling Rs 206 crore.
