Dheng is the north-most village of India on the border with Nepal. It happens to be the junction of Sitamarhi-Bairgania road link because river Bagmati which flows through the village separates these two towns. Incumbent Chief Minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar inaugurated Baghmati road bridge called Banshi-Setu on July 12, 2010. This bridge named after Banshi Shah who sacrificed his life on November 20, 1997 in the process of putting demand of this very bridge in front of Bihar government. Prior to this, boat was the only source to cross the river for four-wheeler vehicles.
