Bailey Road (also known as Nehru Path) is a road and neighbourhood in Patna, India.[1] It connects Patna with Danapur. It roughly starts from Income Tax Golambar and ends in Danapur, running through the heart of the city. It is one of the most important roads in the city. Many important landmarks like Patna High Court,[2] Patna Women's College, Patna Secretariat, Patna Zoo, Patna Airport, Bihar Museum etc. are situated beside or near to this road. Bailey Road was officially renamed as Jawahar Lal Nehru Marg, but this road is still widely known as Bailey Road.[3] Now, this road has been renamed as Nehru Path by the government of Bihar.[4] This area is served by Shastrinagar Police Station of Patna Police.
