Amit Shah's Three-Day Visit to Bihar

On Wednesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah arrived in Bihar for a three-day visit. During his stay, he will focus on strengthening security measures and reviewing infrastructure development in the strategically significant 'Seemanchal' region.

On Thursday, he is set to inaugurate a new Border Outpost of the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) in Araria district.

Officials have confirmed that Shah will engage with residents of border areas and assess the progress of the 'Vibrant Villages' program in the afternoon.

This visit marks Shah's first trip to Bihar since November 2025. Previously, he attended the swearing-in ceremony of the new cabinet formed under Nitish Kumar after the National Democratic Alliance's (NDA) significant victory in the assembly elections.

Shah is also expected to hold discussions with officials responsible for monitoring the open border with Nepal.

He will conclude his visit on Friday with a trip to Purnia before returning.

According to a statement from state BJP spokesperson Prem Ranjan Patel, Shah's visit to Seemanchal is a crucial step towards bolstering national security.

This region, due to its proximity to Nepal and Bangladesh, is strategically important and faces challenges in maintaining intelligence networks and demographic balance. Seemanchal, located at Bihar's northeastern edge, is densely populated yet economically backward and prone to flooding, situated near the borders of Nepal and West Bengal.
