Bihar government cancels contracts worth Rs 826 crore awarded during 'Mahagathbandhan' regime

The NDA government in Bihar has cancelled 350 contracts worth Rs 826 crore awarded during the previous RJD-led 'Mahagathbandhan' government due to irregularities in selecting contractors for rural water supply projects. The Public Health Engineering Department uncovered discrepancies and initiated a thorough probe. RJD leaders criticised the cancellations, claiming the NDA is intimidated by the success of the previous government's welfare initiatives.
