PATNA: A detailed project report (DPR) will be submitted to the state urban development and housing department (UDHD) soon for the redevelopment of Serpentine and Anandpuri drains in the city. The much-needed makeover of the two major drains of Patna will be done under Smart City Mission on the lines of Mandiri Nullah.
As per the DPR, the Serpentine and Anandpuri drains will be covered with drain boxes and roads will be constructed over them to ensure seamless traffic flow and reduce congestion on Bailey Road. The road over 6,039-metre-long Serpentine drain will provide direct connectivity between Patel Chowk and Adalatganj via Eco Park. Similarly, 1,040-metre-long road has been proposed over Anandpuri drain to connect Baba Chowk with Rajapur Pul via Atal Path.
