Bihar CM Samrat Choudhary Hoists National Flag at Gandhi Maidan on 80th Independence Day

Patna: Bihar Chief Minister (CM) Samrat Choudhary on August 15, 2026 hoisted the national flag at the historic Gandhi Maidan here after inspecting the Independence Day parade and outlined his government's vision for building a developed and prosperous state. Addressing the people, Choudhary extended greetings to the state's 14 crore residents and paid tribute to freedom fighters whose sacrifices secured India's independence.

“Freedom is not only a right but also a responsibility,” he said, asserting that Bihar was moving forward with the spirit of “service, resolve and dedication”. Samrat Choudhary highlighted the government's Sahyog camps, held twice a month, as an initiative to take administration to people's doorsteps. He said a 30-day deadline had been fixed for grievance redressal and disciplinary action was being taken against officials found negligent. Of 6,46,181 applications received, 95 per cent had been disposed of, he claimed.

On law and order, Choudhary said Bihar had adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards crime. Under the Emergency Response Support System, 1,833 emergency vehicles provide police, ambulance, fire, disaster-response and other services, with an average response time of 10 minutes.
