बिहार में लोगों ने मुख्यमंत्री की सड़क ही लूट ली!

जहानाबाद के मखदूमपुर के औदान बीघा गांव में मुख्यमंत्री सड़क ग्राम योजना के तहत सड़क बनाई जा रही थी. दावा है कि ढलाई के समय लोग पूरा मटेरियल ही लूट ले गये. बताया जा रहा कि इससे पहले भी ये सड़क ऐसे ही लूट ली गई थी. (@AdiilOfficial) pic.twitter.com/ZCBiStXr5Y

The construction of the road connecting the district headquarters and the village was started as part of the Chief Minister's Village Road project. Two months ago, RJD MLA Satish Kumar laid the foundation stone for the road construction. The road work was partially completed.
