With marine drive, will Patna be the new maximum city?

NEW DELHI: Patna could soon get its own version of Londons famed Thames Path or Mumbais Marine Drive: a long, pleasant walk or drive on along the banks of the river Ganga. At 40 km, Patnas Ganga driveway will be shorter than the Thames Path, which is 64 km long, but vastly longer than Marine Drive, which stretches a mere 3 km along the shore of the Arabian Sea. The finance ministry and Planning Commission have cleared the project, which will cost 2,400 crore. Land for the project has come at little cost: the Ganga has altered its course leaving spare land in its wake.
