Rani Patra | The busy Bansbari Chowk in Maharajpur Panchayat will now be illuminated at night with a new high-mast light. Installed under the Panchayat Samiti scheme at a cost of approximately 5 lakh rupees, the light was inaugurated on Thursday by Block Chief Ziaul Haq and Deputy Chief Lalan Sinha, who broke a coconut to mark the occasion.

The Block Chief and Deputy Chief stated that there had been a long-standing demand from local residents for lighting at the chowk. The installation of the high-mast light is expected to facilitate smoother movement and enhance safety at night. Local shopkeepers, farmers, and vendors selling vegetables and agricultural produce in the mornings and evenings will particularly benefit. The difficulties faced by pedestrians and vehicle drivers due to darkness will also be alleviated. Several villagers and local shopkeepers, including Guddu Yadav, Ravi Yadav, and Ashok Mahaldar, were present at the inauguration.
