Sanjay Singh, Patna. Two big industrial projects established at a cost of Rs 1,700 crore have been inaugurated in Buxar district of Bihar. Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary inaugurated the state-of-the-art JK Cement unit established at a cost of Rs 500 crore in Brahmapur Industrial Area. Spread over about 100 acres, this unit will produce 3 million tonnes of cement per year. This will ensure timely supply of high quality cement to Bihar and surrounding states.
