A delegation led by AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi met with Union Ministers for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari and for Education Pralhad Joshi in New Delhi. The purpose of their meeting was to discuss critical issues related to road infrastructure, public safety, and educational development in Bihar's Seemanchal region and parts of Maharashtra.

The delegation consisted of AIMIM legislators from both Bihar and Maharashtra, including Akhtar Ul Iman and Mufti Mohammed Ismail Qasmi. During their meeting with Gadkari, the delegation submitted a representation regarding the Morgram–Malda–Murshidabad–Siliguri Four-Lane National Highway Project and expressed concerns over a potential alignment revision that would bypass Barsoi in Katihar district.

Owaisi demanded the construction of permanent RCC bridges at six key locations connecting Bihar with West Bengal and ten additional ghats in the Barsoi sub-division to address the commuting difficulties faced by residents. In a separate meeting with Pralhad Joshi, the AIMIM delegation requested the establishment of an Eklavya Model Residential School in Katihar district to provide quality education to tribal and underprivileged students.

They also urged the development of the Aligarh Muslim University Centre in Kishanganj, Bihar, by sanctioning 29 teaching posts, addressing National Mission for Clean Ganga restrictions hindering campus construction, and releasing the pending ₹90 crore out of the ₹100 crore allocated corpus.
