Patna: Chief Minister Nitish Kumar flagged off 43 deluxe buses of the Transport Department to enhance travel comfort and convenience across Bihar.

The ‘Hamara Bihar Hamari Sadak’ app, now available on Google Play Store, enables citizens to report road issues directly to the government and track resolution progress. This initiative reflects the Bihar government’s commitment to improving transport infrastructure and fostering citizen engagement in rural development.
