Cabinet likely to approve Rs 25,000 crore Ganga, Varuna corridors for Varanasi

The Union Cabinet is expected to approve two major elevated road projects in Varanasi. These projects, the Ganga and Varuna Corridors, will cost nearly twenty-five thousand crore rupees. The Ganga Elevated Corridor will be a forty-six-kilometer highway along the riverfront. The Varuna Corridor will be a forty-three-kilometer elevated link connecting two national highways. These initiatives aim to significantly ease traffic congestion and boost tourism in the holy city.
