PM Modi to dedicate Kashi Vishwanath Corridor project to people this month

The Kashi Vishwanath Corridor Project will connect the two things Varanasi is well known for, one is the Kashi Vishwanath Temple (KVT) and the Ganga river.

Lucknow: The grand Kashi Vishwanath Corridor Project has neared completion in a time-bound manner with utmost transparency as per the directives issued by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to realise the vision of the Prime Minister of restoring the ancient glory of Kashi, said Varanasi divisional commissioner Deepak Agarwal on Wednesday.

While speaking to the media persons on Wednesday, Deepak Agarwal informed that “Built over a sprawling area of 5,000 hectares, the corridor has decongested the temple complex, which was earlier surrounded by buildings on three sides. The project will connect the two things Varanasi is well known for, one is the Kashi Vishwanath Temple (KVT) and the Ganga river.”

Giving out the details of the project, Agarwal further explained that when the project was conceptualised it was considered an impossible thing considering the dense structure of the temple premises, however, with the organised and dedicated efforts of both the Centre and the state governments, despite two waves of the Covid-19 pandemic, the entire process is being completed in record time with utmost transparency.
