Bihar Bridge Theft

After a bridge and a train engine, Bihar's list of bizarre thefts continued with an entire pond being "stolen". The pond vanished and had a hut built on it, leaving the locals baffled in Darbhanga district.

The authorities have ordered an investigation after it came to light that a portion of land on which a government health centre was set up around 50 years ago in Bihar's Muzaffarpur district was sold off and registered, a minister said here on Monday
