Prime Minister Narendra Modi is inaugurating 134 development projects worth around Rs 1,583 crore during his visit to Varanasi.

Mahesh Chandra Srivastava, Kashi region BJP president, told the media that the PM would inaugurate 68 development projects worth Rs 744 crore and lay the foundation of over 65 projects worth Rs 839 crore; along with addressing a public meeting at IIT-BHU ground during his visit to the temple city.

These projects cover the inauguration of Varanasi International Cooperation and Convention Centre (VICCC) ‘Rudraksha’, Regional Institute of Ophthalmology, Mother and Child Health Wing of the SSL Hospital (BHU), operation of cruise boat from Rajghat to Assi Ghat, installation of signages at all 84 ghats, operation of RORO vessels in Ganga and others.
