Patna: CM Nitish Kumar on Monday reviewed the ongoing construction of the double-decker flyover on Ashok Rajpath, inspecting both levels by car and issuing directives to expedite the work. He stressed the urgent need to complete the project, which will benefit Patna University students and local residents by easing traffic congestion and reducing noise pollution.
The 2.2-km-long double-decker flyover features an upper deck running from Kargil Chowk to Science College, designated for eastbound traffic from Gandhi Maidan, and a lower 1.7-km deck from B N College to Patna College for westbound traffic towards Gandhi Maidan. Both decks will feature 7.5-metre-wide traffic lanes.
The structure will connect to Krishna Ghat, providing improved access for PMCH visitors and will be linked to a proposed multi-level car park at PMCH to further streamline traffic flow. The flyover consists of 120 spans supported by 106 pillars. While structural work has been completed, finishing works such as the service lane and parking facility construction are underway.
This Rs 422 crore project is one of the CM's flagship developments. Its foundation stone was laid on Jan 15, 2022. Bihar Rajya Pul Nirman Nigam Limited (BRPNNL) is the nodal agency for the project, which is expected to be inaugurated in May.
According to engineers, the two-tier structure is largely ready with painting, electrical, lighting and bitumen surfacing completed. Final tasks such as thermoplastic road marking, service road development, drainage installation and plantation work around the pillars are in progress.
During the inspection, the CM was accompanied by principal secretary Deepak Kumar, secretaries Anupam Kumar and Kumar Ravi, BRPNNL chairman Shirsat Kapil Ashok, Patna Municipal Corporation commissioner Animesh Kumar Parashar and other senior officials.

Helped by mark-to-market (MTM) gains, the net asset under management (AUM) of the mutual fund (MF) industry crossed over Rs 70 lakh crore for the first time, to touch Rs 72.19 lakh crore in May, as against Rs 69.99 lakh crore in April.

Inflows into mid-cap funds were Rs 2,808.68 crore, down from Rs 3,313.98 crore in the previous month. Large-cap funds saw a 53.19 per cent decline in net inflows at Rs 1,250.47 crore, compared to Rs 2,671.46 crore in April. Inflows into sector/thematic funds inched up to Rs 2,052.48 crore in May from Rs 2,000.95 crore in the previous month. Retail mutual fund folios (equity + hybrid + solution oriented schemes) stood at 18.84 crore in May 2025 as against 18.71 crore in April. Inflows into debt MFs and hybrid funds Debt mutual fund schemes saw outflows to the tune of Rs 15,908.48 crore in May, compared with inflows worth Rs 2.19 lakh crore in April. Outflows in the segment were majorly witnessed in liquid funds (Rs 40,205.36 crore) and overnight funds (Rs 8,120.03 crore). However, corporate bond funds saw inflows of Rs 11,983.35 crore, while money market funds recorded Rs 11,223.08 crore of flows on a net basis. Net inflows into hybrid funds stood at Rs 20,765.05 crore, compared to Rs 14,247.55 crore inflows in April.

Car showroom manager held for deceiving bizman of Rs 1cr

Bhubaneswar: Infocity police here on Monday arrested a car showroom manager for allegedly deceiving a businessman of Rs 1 crore under the pretext of facilitating a luxury vehicle purchase. Police have identified the accused as Sambit Panda, 32, who resides in Sailashree Vihar. In 2024, the victim, Rohit Roshan Mohanty, a local businessman, filed a complaint in a local court stating that Panda had collected Rs 1 crore from him for the car purchase, but reneged on the agreement. Following the court's instructions, police registered a case on Sept 7, 2024. During investigation, police came to know that the victim came in contact with the accused in 2023. Panda offered to assist Mohanty in acquiring the luxury vehicle at an optimal price. After receiving the substantial sum from the prospective buyer, the accused stopped communication with him. "When the victim requested for his money back, the accused issued severe threats. The accused evaded arrest for several months," said the police officer.
