Patna (Bihar Times): President Pratibha Patil will pay a two-day visit to Bihar on February 15-16 during which she would participate in several official functions in Gaya and Patna. This will be her first visit after becoming the head of the state.

The security arrangement has been beefed up, especially after the attack on the chief minister Nitish Kumar in Nalanda last Friday, when he accompanied the former President A P J Abdul Kalam to the site of the ancient university.
