The dam of Ganga Pump Canal scheme at Bateshwar Sthan in Kahalgaon, Bhagalpur in Bihar, was broken 15 hours before the ingauration.

On Wednesday, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was about to inaugurate the Bateshwar Sthan Ganga Pump Canal Project, which was completed about 40 years in Kahalgaon in Bhagalpur district.

On Tuesday, advertisements related to this opening ceremony were published in many newspapers published in Patna. The program has been postponed after the canal project breaks down.

Former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar, Tejasvi Yadav, is targeting Nitish Kumar by tweeting after this incident. In a tweet he said, "The water resources department is a haunt of corruption. Why do the CM remain silent on the corruption of this department?

In another tweet, he taunted, "Tell Nitish ji, what the project costing Rs 828 crores has also been eaten by the rats, which the dam broke? Its sehra should also be tied to the rats.''

Tejasvi Yadav commented on Nitish in another tweet,'' What will be big administrative failure for CM Nitish that for a few hours before inauguration, the dam of rupees 828 crores already flows corruption in the Ganges."

For the breaking of the dam, Congress MLA Sadanand Singh has described the gross negligence of engineers and contractors as responsible.

RJD activists have described the live example of corruption in building this canal. And on Wednesday sat on a day-long protest to demand a probe against it.

The Congress legislator taunted that where Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's zero tolerance went on corruption?

RJD MLA Ram Vilas Paswan of Pirepanthi has described the collusion of engineers and contractors for the incident as responsible.

On Wednesday morning, at 10 o'clock, for 40 years, the canal was awaiting a desirable opening. On Tuesday evening, as the trial the pump was started and the water was left in the canal, the wall of the dam constructed near NTPC was broken by about six feet and the flow of water was so fast that seeing CISF colony's 150 meter wall was swept away.

Water entered the quarters of people and the surrounding area became submerged.

On Tuesday, the canal's water went into the residence of the civil judge and sub-judge of Kahalgaon along with NTPC township.

Water entered Akbarpur and Rani Lagaria villages. On the other hand, the route to Kahalgaon's Satkar Chowk and Muraktiya Chowk was also submerged in water.

In the night, DM Aadesh Titmare and SSP Manoj Kumar reached the spot. The team of SDRF was engaged in rescue work. Close the canal pump.

According to the information, the water has almost come out from the area, but some roads have got silt (soil) deposited.

Principal Secretary Water Resources Arun Kumar Singh said in the afternoon on Wednesday on phone that there is no need to create a probe committee in this regard nor action has been taken against anyone. After going to Patna, advice will be given at the point of action. This situation was born because of making the wrong calvert near the canal. The repair has been instructed.

Within two months, the principal secretary has been relied on to correct all the flaws and leakage of the project. The Calvert NTPC built near the bridge was built in 1994-95 without which the NOC was started.

While the executive director of Kahalgaon NTPC, Rakesh Samuil, told the reporters that the NOC was only going to start the over bridge with reporters.

Within two months, Principal Secretary has given the confidence to repair all the flaws and leakage of the project. The Calvert was built by NTPC near the bridge in 1994-95 which was started without the NOC.

While the executive director of Kahalgaon NTPC, Rakesh Saumual, told the reporters that the over bridge was started after taking the NOC.

Surprisingly, how did the state government engineers and officers ignore such a weak Calvert? Besides, why was the trial itself only on the eve of inauguration? The answers to these questions are yet to come.

Even before the date of inauguration of this project has been postponed on July 7, 11 and 19.

Now the wall of the dam is broken.

Looking at the situation, it will take some more time to repair the canal dam.
