Bihar’s Chief Minister Nitish Kumar made a significant stop in Rajgir on Saturday, diving deep into preparations for the 2026 Malmas Mela while overseeing key infrastructure projects. Starting at Griddhakoot Bhawan, he evaluated facilities and urged sustained excellence in operations to delight tourists.
From there, he proceeded to inspect the innovative new ropeway, gathering insights on tourism enhancements. His instructions were clear: maintain impeccable standards so no visitor faces hurdles.
At the Rajgir International Convention Center, the focus shifted to the grand Malmas Mela, a month-long extravaganza that attracts throngs of faithful. District Magistrate Kundan Kumar presented a detailed roadmap, prompting the CM to mandate comprehensive facilities including accommodation, potable water, hygiene, security, and medical aid.
‘With lakhs expected to arrive, leave no stone unturned for their well-being,’ Nitish declared, highlighting clean water sources, spotless ghats, efficient transport, and fortified security. This year’s event demands even better execution.
The itinerary continued to the Gangaji Rajgriha reservoir in Nawada’s Motanaje area, where the CM reviewed the water supply project’s progress. Benefiting regions like Gaya, Bodh Gaya, Nawada, and Rajgir, the scheme delivers pristine Ganga water, showcasing effective governance.
Key attendees included Minister Shravan Kumar, MP Kaushalendra Kumar, and MLAs Prem Mukhiya and Kaushal Kishore. The visit reinforces Bihar’s push for world-class event management and public services.
