Modi is also scheduled to flag off projects like doubling of railway tracks on the busy Allahabad-Varanasi section and expansion of the Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW) at Varanasi besides laying foundation stone for a fully air-conditioned perishable cargo centre.
He will also release a stamp dedicated to Varanasi, which is believed to be among the oldest surviving ones in the world. Besides, he will lay the foundation stone for widening of a road passing through the city’s crowded Cantonment area.
