July 16, 2015 09:39

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is slated to make a day-long visit to his Lok Sabha constituency in Varanasi today during which he will address a public rally, inaugurate a power project scheme and open a trauma centre at the Banaras Hindu University.

The prime minister will reach the Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport at Babatpur in Varanasi in a special plane in the afternoon.

At the programme, Modi will launch an Integrated Power Development Scheme, give a go-ahead to the four-laning of the Varanasi-Babatpur Road and lay the foundation stone of a Ring Road in his constituency.

He will also lay the foundation stones for two power sub-stations at Chowk and Kazzakpura respectively from the DLW Grounds and later address a public gathering.

Before heading to the DLW Grounds the prime minister will first inaugurate the much-awaited Trauma Centre of the Banaras

Hindu University.

Modi's June 28 rally in the holy city was cancelled due to heavy rain, which had left the venue (DLW Grounds) waterlogged. So, foolproof arrangements are being made this time round and the PMO is monitoring all the preparations here.
