Buidco Plans To Build Multi-Lane Road To Cover Patna’s Anandpuri Drain

24 Jan 2025 CW Team

Bihar Urban Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (Buidco) has prepared a plan for revamping Anandpuri drain — passing through the heart of the city from Baba Chowk to Rajapur Pul on Boring Road — with the construction of a multi-lane road over it.

The proposed 3.1-km road has been divided into two stretches: Baba Chowk to Atal Path culvert and near Hanuman Temple on Kasturba Path to Rajapur Pul drainage pumping station.

According to engineers, the proposal was sent to the state urban development and housing department for administrative approval. Following its consent, the bidding process will be initiated for the construction of the road.

An estimated Rs 1.07 billion would be spent on the road and other ancillary work, and the target is to complete the work within two years. The work will include cleaning of the existing drain, installation of LED street lights, road accessories, street furniture and signage.

Anandpuri drain is one of the nine major drainage lines in the city, connecting the govt administrative buildings, including the Buidco office, with the housing areas of the city. It carries discharges from various areas, including Baba Chowk, Patel Nagar, Atal Path, Patliputra Colony, Pani Tanki, Boring Road, North Sri Krishna Puri, Kasturba Path, Mainpura Digha Diara and Rajapur Pul. Additionally, a 450m-long drain will be constructed from the environment, forest and climate change office to Nehru Nagar drain.
