Varanasi: PM Modi has cancelled his visit to Varanasi a second time in recent days due to heavy rain. PM Modi was to have landed in the temple town this afternoon on a one-day visit and lots of efforts were made to pump water out at the DLW ground, where PM Modi was scheduled to give a public address.
The PM’s rally at the same venue had to be cancelled on June 28, because heavy rain had left the grounds waterlogged. This time, the BJP had said, better arrangements had been made.
A special floor was made by first laying bricks and then covering them with plywood, he said, adding that water pumps had been installed to meet contingencies. Those water pumps were put to use this morning.
The venue had been prepared to seat 25,000 people.
The PM was to have announced several schemes in his constituency today.
