RTI System in Bihar in Disarray: Information Due in 30 Days Pending for Over 1,800 Days

Patna: The implementation of the Right to Information (RTI) Act in Bihar appears to be in a state of serious disarray, raising sharp questions about governance and administrative accountability in the state. Information that is legally mandated to be provided within 30 days has, in some cases, remained pending for over 1,800 days, exposing systemic failure in the RTI mechanism. The issue has come into sharp focus following a public statement by Ritu Jaiswal, former village head and an independent candidate in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. Taking to social media platform X, Jaiswal shared screenshots from the official RTI portal, alleging gross negligence by departments functioning under the Bihar government, particularly the Revenue and Land Reforms Department. “In Bihar, seekin...

Patna–Purnea Greenfield Expressway Sparks Land Price Surge Across Kosi–Seemanchal Region

Patna/Purnea: The announcement of the Patna–Purnea Greenfield Expressway, hailed as a future lifeline for Bihar’s development, has triggered a dramatic surge in land prices across the Kosi and Seemanchal regions, even before the project’s detailed alignment has been officially released. With a massive ₹12,600 crore allocation announced in the state budget, areas falling along the proposed corridor—from Patna to Purnea—are witnessing unprecedented activity in the real estate market. Land rates have escalated sharply, while property dealers and land syndicates have become increasingly active. A Game-Changer in Connectivity Once completed, the expressway is expected to halve travel time between Patna and Purnea—from the current 6–7 hours to just about 3 hours. Key Project Highligh...
