(v) Need to convert Sasaram Buxar Road, Bihar into a National Highway
SHRI RAM PRASAD SINGH (Bikramganj): Sasaram-Buxar road in Bihar is a very old road. It connects the two historical cities of Sasaram and Buxar. At the same time it also connects two States Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Buxar is a prominent commercial and industrial city in Bihar. It is the Karmbhumi of Purushottam Ram. It is also a famous and sacred pilgrimage centre. Sasaram is the birth place and Karmbhumi of historical man, Shershah Suri. The world famous mausoleum of Shershah Suri also stands here. Sasaram is also a famous industrial city as also business and tourist centre. Many small and big cities also lie on this road. Only one way traffic is allowed on this road. As a result many major accidents take place there.
Keeping in a view, the national importance of this road and the accidents happening there. Mr. Speaker, Sir, through you, I urge upon the Government of India to approve a plan to convert this road into a National Highway immediately.
