Bihar Plans Mumbai Bhavan Amid Political Opposition
The Bihar government wants to build a big building called Bihar Bhavan in Mumbai.
It will help people from Bihar who are sick with cancer and need special treatment.
The building will have many rooms, a place to park cars, and even a big meeting room.
Some political parties in Maharashtra, like the MNS and Shiv Sena (UBT), don't want this building to be built.
They say Bihar should improve its own hospitals instead.
But the Bihar government says they will build it no matter what.
They have already got the land and money for the project.
The building will also have offices for different departments and a place for people to stay while they get treatment.
Bihar government plans to build a 30-storey Bihar Bhavan in Mumbai for Rs 314.20 crore.
The building will provide facilities for cancer patients from Bihar and their families.
MNS and Shiv Sena (UBT) oppose the project, advocating for better healthcare in Bihar instead.
Bihar minister Ashok Choudhary asserts the building will be constructed despite opposition.
The building will include offices, a 240-bed dormitory, parking, a conference hall, and a cafeteria.
