Truth
The flyover in the photo claimed to be Muzaffarpur is actually from Hyderabad.
On reverse search, we cam across an article in The NewsMinute published on 10th August 2020
“RHS flyover at Bairamalguda junction in Hyderabad thrown open to public
On a busy day in Bairamalguda junction, there would be at least 12,000 vehicles travelling per hour.
Happy to be throwing open yet another flyover in #Hyderabad tomorrow that has been completed as part of #SRDP (Strategic Road Development Plan)

We also dug further comparing the photo tweeted by KTR to the actual Bairamalguda Junction on Google maps and found it to be true.
We picked the top right (Day) photo from the four he tweeted.
