Even in nearby villages like Amhara, Kanchanpur, and Dilawarpur the price of 1 cottah of land is ₹ 15-20 Lakh. A few years ago, such land was available for ₹2-2.5 lakh in urban and ₹ 25k-50k in rural areas.[47] 25 acres of land have been acquired at Bihta in Patna district for setting up the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) headquarters and training centre.[48]
