Sultanganj Civic Body Clears Stadium Upgrade And Glass Bridge Plan

Sultanganj, a town in Bhagalpur district, is set for a significant phase of urban development after the Nagar Parishad approved 11 proposals at a meeting chaired by Rajkumar Guddu. The council cleared measures aimed at improving civic amenities, boosting tourism and modernising public spaces. Officials said the decisions could accelerate development and enhance the town’s appeal to visitors and residents. Plans were described as intended to position Sultanganj as a regional centre for events and pilgrimage.

Among the prominent projects is the redevelopment of Krishnanand Stadium into a modern multifunctional complex, with an estimated cost of Rs 100 million (mn) including the construction of a terrace helipad to support large events and activities. The conversion will introduce high-tech upgrades and facilities aimed at drawing regional functions. The council assessed the project as a means to create a versatile venue for sports, cultural programmes and emergency operations.

In a move to bolster religious tourism the council approved the construction of a glass bridge near the Ajgaibinath temple area ahead of the annual Shravani Mela, with a budget of Rs 50 mn. Officials said the bridge is intended to attract pilgrims and enhance the visitor experience in the temple vicinity. Additional works approved include replacement of a dilapidated water tower, reconstruction of the Churi Mandi marketplace and repair of non-functional hand pumps across the town.

The council resolved to deploy personnel through an external agency to improve implementation of the state tap water scheme and prioritise efforts to tackle waterlogging and pipeline leakages for quicker resolution. Financial performance was highlighted as improved with tax collections exceeding Rs 57.6 mn against a target of Rs 15.1 mn, and the proposed holding tax increase was reduced from 30 per cent to 15 per cent in a relief to residents. Officials said the combination of infrastructure upgrades and administrative reforms could mark a turning point in Sultanganj’s urban development trajectory.
