Prime Minister Narendra Modi will gift 13 new projects worth Rs 1,200 crore to Kashi by laying their foundation and also inaugurate around 33 ready projects of Rs 600 crore during his proposed visit in July. Divisional commissioner Deepak Agrawal and district magistrate Kaushal Raj Sharma said final date for the PM's proposed visit has not been received from the PMO so far, but in view of possibility of his arrival between July 7 and 10 all preparations are being made. The officials are finalising the list of projects ready for inauguration by the PM following chief minister Yogi Adityanath's strict directives issued on June 25 that only the projects which would start operating immediately after inauguration, be included in the list.
