Alam expressed his resentment over the bad state of roads and the slow pace of construction of the Barbhigha-Shekhpura-Lakhisarai main road.
‘Bad roads in his home district Shekhpura shocked Alam, who immediately called district officials as well as construction company officials and asked them to expedite the construction work,’ an official said.
