Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while laying the foundation stone of an International Cricket Stadium in his parliamentary constituency, said that the development of sports infrastructure of such scale not only has a positive effect on sports but also has a positive impact on the regional economy.
The PM noted that he is visiting Kashi on a day, exactly one month after India reached the Shiv Shakti point on the moon where Chandrayaan landed on the moon on the 23rd of last month.
“One place of Shiv Shakti is on the moon, while the other one is here in Kashi,” the Prime Minister remarked, as he congratulated everyone for this momentous feat.
The modern international cricket stadium will be developed in Ganjari, Rajatalab, Varanasi at a cost of about Rs 450 crores and spread across an area of more than 30 acres.
