RAGHOPUR'S NEW ROAD, OLD LOYALTIES

- RAJESH KUMAR THAKUR @Raghopur

REACHING Raghopur-the electoral fiefdom of RJD leader Lalu Prasad-no longer means risking one's life to cross the Ganga River by boat.

The newly built six-lane bridge from Patna, inaugurated earlier this year by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, now connects the riverine constituency by road.

Vehicles run at 70-100 kmph along the stretch, replacing the slow ferries that once defined Raghopur's isolation. From the bridge, one can see the green expanse of the diara and the wide river that still shapes its life.
