Greater Patna to be developed on NCR model; Metro Rail operations to begin this month, says minister

Bihar is set for urban expansion with Greater Patna mirroring Delhi’s NCR through land pooling, announced Minister Jibesh Mishra. The Patna Metro’s priority corridor is slated for inauguration this month, potentially by PM Modi. Nine satellite towns are planned to decongest cities, alongside efforts to achieve garbage-free urban areas by 2027.
