Hundreds of flower pots were placed to welcome Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar during his Pragati Yatra in Buxar. Local residents seized the pots within moments, leaving the area barren before officials could intervene. A dispute has arisen over who will bear the cost of the missing pots, with Nagar Parishad officials and suppliers at odds. The juxtaposition of the day’s significant developmental strides with the subsequent disorderly conduct of the local populace highlights the challenges faced in fostering civic responsibility alongside infrastructural progress, says Gopi Adusumilli, the editor of SocialNews.XYZ. The incident took place at the district guest house under the Town Police Station in BUXar on Saturday. The district administration had decorated the area with flower pots, many of which were rented from local nurseries, while others were purchased permanently. The Chief Minister inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for 73 development projects amounting to over Rs 476 crore in the area. He also inspected the BuxAR-Koilwar embankment road project and Cheques distributed to beneficiaries under various welfare schemes.
