Centre Retains Ganga Flood Control Commission Headquarters in Patna; Meeting Scheduled
The Union Jal Shakti Minister C.R. Patil agreed to keep the headquarters of the Ganga Flood Control Commission (GFCC) in Patna after requests from Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary, who opposed its recent transfer to Delhi. The GFCC manages flood control across Ganga basin states. West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari and Uttar Pradesh's Water Resources Minister Swatantra Dev Singh supported this decision. A meeting chaired by Patil will discuss flood management plans involving Bihar, West Bengal, and Jharkhand.
