Patna: Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday escaped unhurt when a steamer boat on which he was boarding hit a pillar of JP Setu on the bank of river Ganga in the state capital on Saturday.
Police said the mishap took place when he was inspecting Chhath Ghat situated on the bank of river Ganga today. "All onboard the boat including the CM are safe", police added.
An official of the district administration said that Nitish was not hurt in the incident.
