Varanasi’s Bhelupur gets Rs 78.26 crore infrastructure push with 17-km sewer, drinking water pipeline

In Varanasi's Bhelupur Ward (Ward No. 51), a staggering ₹78.26 crore has been allocated for critical infrastructure projects. These include a 17-kilometre sewer and drinking water pipeline, road construction, and mini tube wells. The groundbreaking ceremony, led by Mayor Ashok Kumar Tiwari, took place at Ramlila Maidan, Gandhi Chowk (Khojwan Bazaar).

The projects are set to ensure a continuous supply of pure drinking water, alleviate waterlogging issues, and strengthen sewer and drinking water networks in older wards. Mayor Tiwari, inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, highlighted the transformative impact on Kashi's development, although residents might face temporary commuting difficulties during the construction period.
