According to official sources, the Prime Minister will lay the foundation for various works under the Smart Distribution Project and for the undergrounding of electrical infrastructure in the city.

These are aimed at modernising Varanasi's power supply system and enhancing civic services.

Given the VVIP movement, security has been tightened across the city, with a multi-layered deployment of personnel along PM Modi's travel routes.

The prime minister is also scheduled to address a public gathering at Banauli (Kalika Dham) village in the Sevapuri Assembly constituency, where thousands are expected to attend, later in the day.
