Economics
Forbesganj, for a long, has been known for jute production. But the advent of fibres and mills closing down owing to non-profitability have made sure that jute industry dies a slow death. With broad-gauge conversion of railways under Unigauge and construction of 4 lane highway, the economic activities are set to benefit.
