It has preferred this writ petition in public interest opposing construction of National Highway 83 between Patna – Gaya – Dobhi in between 26-27 K.M. near Damrichak village. The objection of the petitioner is mainly on the ground that construction of the four lane highway will expose the residents of the village Damrichak to hazard 2 of road accidents etc. In our view construction of a four lane highway will serve the public interest much better.
