On May 13, Prime Minister Narendra Modi undertook a significant visit to his parliamentary constituency Varanasi in the context of the Lok Sabha Elections 2024. This visit held particular importance as it preceded his filing of nomination for the upcoming elections. Ahead of this formal procedure, PM Modi had planned a grand roadshow, which was expected to draw massive crowds. The itinerary for the event included a symbolic gesture of floral tributes at the Malviya statue near the Singh Dwar, underscoring the cultural and historical significance of Varanasi. From there, the roadshow traversed through the city, culminating at the revered Kashi Vishwanath Corridor. The administration was actively engaged in making necessary arrangements and preparations to ensure the smooth conduct of this event. Given the anticipated large turnout, measures such as route diversions were put in place at various locations across Varanasi to manage traffic and ensure public safety during the roadshow.
