He said it was a matter of great satisfaction that the Central government had already started the construction work related to the development of “Ram-Janaki Marg” from Ayodhya to Sitamarhi.

Punaura Dham in Sitamarhi district is visited by a large number of devotees.
Earlier, Nitish reviewed the redevelopment work at Punaura Dham in Sitamarhi district, the birthplace of Mother Sita, in his ‘Sankalp’ at Ane Marg.
