The Gateshwar Panth Canal Project is told to be very old and took a long time to complete the project. In a shocking turn of events, the 389.31 crore worth Gateshwar Panth Canal Project, which was set to be inaugurated by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, suffered a major blow as a part of the dam collapsed just 24 hours before the inaugural ceremony. The Inaugration of the dam has been cancelled.
The main purpose of making the dam was to collect water in the canal so that the farmers would not have to face any problem. As soon as the information about the dam broke, the officials concerned immediately reached the spot.
The collapsing has created a frantic ambience. Several reports of waterlogging have been identified and water can be seen entering the city, penetrating many homes of low-lying areas. Jharkhand was also to be benefited from this project. Through this project, the irrigation facility would have been available in 18620 hectares in Bhagalpur and 22658 hectares in Godda district of Jharkhand.
It is said, the Bateshwarasthan Ganga Pump Canal Project was prepared by the government under the irrigation scheme at Kahalgaon in Bhagalpur. Rs. 389.31 crore was spent on this scheme.
