Bihar Cabinet Approves 47 Key Decisions Including Judicial Inquiry, Teacher Transfer Policy, and Satellite Township Development The Bihar cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, approved 47 significant decisions during a meeting on June 24, 2026. Among the key resolutions was the formation of a judicial commission to investigate the encounter of Bharti Tivari, a case that has sparked public debate. The commission, led by retired judge Vinod Kumar Sinha, will scrutinize the incident, which occurred in Bhagalpur’s Bhilai village on June 17, 2026. The family of Tivari, who was killed in a police encounter, alleges that the police fired at him despite his surrender. A murder case has been filed against the involved officers, and the commission’s findings are expected to address these concerns. The cabinet also approved a new teacher transfer policy aimed at improving the distribution of educators across the state. Over 5.5 lakh teachers, including principals and headmasters, will be eligible for voluntary transfers. The policy prioritizes placing female teachers in panchayat-adjacent areas and male teachers in panchayat block areas, aiming to address regional imbalances. The education department has already begun preparations for the implementation of the policy. Another major decision was the development of a 12th greenfield satellite township in Dehri, Rohatash district. The state government has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with HUDCO for a 1-lakh-crore-rupee project to establish the township. The initiative, which includes infrastructure and residential development, was approved after sustained demands from local communities and leaders. This brings the total number of greenfield towns in Bihar to 12, expanding the state’s urbanization plan.#bhagalpur #samrat_choudhary #bihar_cabinet #bharti_tivari #vinod_kumar_sinha

Bihar Weather Update: Rain and Lightning Alert in Some Areas, Clouds to Remain Over Patna and Other Districts Bihar is experiencing erratic weather conditions, with rain and lightning alerts issued for several districts. The state capital, Patna, along with other regions, is expected to have cloudy skies for the next 24 hours, with isolated instances of rainfall. Meteorological forecasts indicate that the weather system will remain active, leading to fluctuating temperatures and potential for further precipitation. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned of heavy rainfall in specific areas, including parts of the state where the monsoon season is still active. This is attributed to the influence of the Himalayan region, where cloud formation and rainfall are likely to impact the plains. Additionally, the Bay of Bengal is expected to contribute to increased humidity, further enhancing the likelihood of rain. Temperature variations are also expected, with the state experiencing a mix of cooler and warmer conditions. The IMD has noted that the weather system will gradually stabilize from March 12-13, leading to clearer skies and stronger sunlight. However, temperatures are projected to rise in the following weeks, bringing back the heat that has been absent in recent days. A table outlining the maximum and minimum temperatures for key cities in Bihar is provided below: | City | Maximum (°C) | Minimum (°C) | |------------|-------------|--------------| | Patna | 32.0 | 24.0 | | Gaya | 32.8 | 21.4 | | Bhagalpur | 32.5 | 22.0 | | Muzaffarpur| 30.0 | 21.0 | The hottest day recorded in the region was in Gaya, with temperatures reaching 32.8°C, while Patna experienced its warmest night at 24.0°C.#india_meteorological_department #bihar #patna #gaya #bhagalpur
