According to an official release, the state govt’s ambitious riverfront initiative aims to give a modern identity to Pataliputra’s legacy while promoting urban development, tourism and ecological conservation. In the first phase, a nearly 6-km green corridor is being developed along JP Ganga Path. In the second phase, it will be extended to around 26 km, connecting Patna City and creating a continuous green tourism stretch along the Ganga. 

Departments have been asked to complete the detailed project report (DPR) for the first phase by August 31. Multiple agencies, including tourism, water resources, urban development, Buidco, environment and forest, and BSRDCL, are involved.
