Shivani Jaiswal , Uttar Pradesh -Prime Minister Narendra Modi completed a two-day visit to Uttar Pradesh, where he launched and announced several major projects across the state.
On the first day in Varanasi, he spoke at a Mahila Sammelan and started projects worth ₹6,350 crore. These included a new 500-bed hospital and improvement work on the ghats of the Ganga River. He also flagged off two Amrit Bharat Express trains connecting Banaras to Pune and Ayodhya to Mumbai, which will help people travel more easily at lower cost.
