Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Varanasi on Thursday evening and will launch several development projects and address public meetings on Friday.
On his arrival to Varanasi — his Lok Sabha constituency, after a long and packed day in Gujarat, PM went to inspect the Shivpur- Phulwaria- Lahartara marg at around 11 in the night.
The road, which was inaugurated recently, has helped around 5 lakh people living around the southern part of the city who want to go towards the Varanasi airport, Lucknow, Azamgarh and Ghazipur. To get a sense of it first-hand, PM Modi reached there in the middle of the night along with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

When he reached there, the Prime Minister found kids, housewives, and men coming outside their homes or turning up on their terraces. The Prime Minister also waved at them.
This is not the first time. In 2021, after returning from a long and jam-packed US trip, he made an unannounced visit to the construction site of the new Parliament building on Sunday night at around 8:45 pm. He spent almost an hour there to inspect progress first-hand.
During his tenure of nine years as the Prime Minister of India so far, has not taken even a “single day of leave from work”. This information was shared by the PMO in reply to an RTI query. The reply from the PMO has counted all the nine years of PM Modi’s prime ministership.
Built at the cost of Rs 360 crore, the road cuts down travel time from Banaras Hindu University towards the airport from 75 minutes to 45 minutes and from Lahartara to Kachahri from 30 minutes to 15 minutes. This project saw inter-ministerial coordination including from Railways and Defence to enhance ease of living for citizens of Varanasi.
