Bhagalpur Airport: Pride & Prejudice

 

In comparison to fortune, the list of misfortune much longer for Bhagalpur, the city number 2 of #Bihar. A septuagenarian can draw a vivid picture explaining the the fate of this unfortunate town. Which was once a commissionary extended to the border of Malda, a district town of West Bengal.
However, the town enjoyed the flight facility in 1960s. After a year or two Most of the time this ancient is cheated and suffered lethargic attitude of the successive political leaders. In the year 2002-2003, an effort was made again. There was National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at the Centre then.
There appeared an ego problem which turned the effort to ashes. The question was to curtail the surrounding residential complexes. Which could have been considered amicably. But the ego problem distorted all.
Coincidentally, the both leaders belonged to the same political party. The state leader, who represented Bhagalpur assembly constituency, held several important portfolios later. Neither development the city witnessed during his tenure.
