Dumraon (Buxar), July 24
EVEN AS Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is all set to fly to Mauritius on Friday next, taking along soil from village Badka Singhanpura under Dumraon subdivision of Buxar district—supposed to be the ancestral village of Mauritius Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam— as a gift for his host, a controversy is raging in the district over which is the real place where the Mauritius PM has his roots.Suddenly, the residents of another village in the district have started claiming that the Ramgoolams hailed from their village.The Buxar district administration on Tuesday was busy carrying out an investigation to find out if the Ramgoolams actually belonged to Badka Singhanpura. A couple of days back, Nitish had in Patna announced that the village—being the native place of Mauritius PM—would be developed. Officials in Patna seemed satisfied with the claim of the eight villagers taken to the State Capital by Dumraon CO Firoz Akhtar for verification. The village soil was also sent to Patna so that the CM could take it to Mauritius and present the same to the country’s PM.However, the people of Keshopur, an adjacent village, are not ready to accept Badka Singhanpura’s claim to fame.
