Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary made his first visit to Supaul district on Wednesday. Arriving by air at Balua Panchayat in Chhatapur block, the Chief Minister participated in the death anniversary program of former Chief Minister Dr. Jagannath Mishra and unveiled his statue. He also offered prayers at Dr. Mishra's ancestral temple. Deputy CM Vijay Chaudhary, Urban Development and Housing Minister Nitish Mishra, along with several MLAs and officials, were present at the event.

Following this, the Chief Minister visited Chainpur village to inspect the ongoing Kosi-Mechi inter-state river link project. He gathered detailed information from officials regarding the project's progress, current construction status, and future action plan. Chaudhary also held a review meeting at the project's camp office. He described the project as historic and extremely important for Seemanchal and Bihar, expected to provide additional and assured irrigation facilities to 2,14,813 hectares of agricultural land. The project, with an estimated cost of Rs 6,282.32 crore, is targeted for completion by March 2029, benefiting farmers in Araria, Purnia, Kishanganj, and Katihar districts.

The Chief Minister instructed officials to ensure that farmers do not face any difficulties during the construction work. He emphasized speed, quality, and timely execution, directing continuous monitoring. He also spoke about formulating a comprehensive plan for regulating the Kosi and Gandak rivers and developing long-term strategies for optimal utilization, conservation, and management of water resources.
