A breakthrough in Bhagalpur brings cheers to devotees: Bihar’s pioneering Shiv Corridor in Sultanpur now has all hurdles cleared. Years of negotiations over land swaps with Indian Railways have culminated in a deal, setting the stage for construction inspired by Ujjain and Kashi Vishwanath corridors.
Key to the resolution is the district’s allocation of 17 acres 47.625 dismil across Jagadishpur, Barari, and Sultanpur to railway possession. The proposal for free land transfer awaits nod from the Revenue and Land Reforms Department, after which tenders and groundwork will commence swiftly.
Simultaneously, the Ganga’s course is being realigned to the ancient staircase ghat under the Water Resources Department’s supervision, promising easier access during peak seasons.
This mega-project heralds a new era for Sultanpur’s religious tourism. Enhanced pilgrim infrastructure—think secure corridors, efficient crowd management, and top-notch amenities—will draw millions. Local traders and youth eye exponential growth in opportunities, cementing the site’s status as Bihar’s spiritual jewel and a magnet for national and international visitors.
