PM to visit Varanasi on Sept 18

September 10, 2015 23:25

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit his Parliamentary constituency Varanasi on September 18, a trip that he has been forced to cancel thrice earlier.

Additional District Magistrate (Protocol) Om Prakash Chaubey today said an initial intimation regarding the proposed visit of the Prime Minister on September 18 has been received.

During his visit, Modi will inaugurate Integrated Power Development Scheme at DLW grounds here and lay foundation stone for a ring road project.

He will also launch a project for four-laning of a road and address a public meeting here, Bhardwaj said.

The Prime Minister had planned to undertake a visit to his Lok Sabha constituency twice earlier but was forced to cancel both the times.

First time, he was scheduled to visit on October 12 last year but cancelled it in view of the devastation caused by Hudhud cyclone in eastern parts of the country.

Second time, he was to visit on June 28 but had to cancel it at the last minute because of water-logging in DLW grounds caused by incessant rains.
