Mayor Ashok Kumar Tiwari welcomed the approval, stating that securing funds for essential services had been a continuous effort. He emphasized that the sanctioned budget would enable the implementation of projects designed to improve sanitation and water supply across the affected wards.
Among the approved initiatives, the largest involves laying water supply lines and a sewer network with house connections, totaling INR 292 crore. Additionally, a project worth INR 37 crore has been undertaken for laying drinking water pipelines in the Sujabad Domari area. Other works include the installation of drinking water and sewerage lines in wards such as Shivala, Nagwa, Bagahada, Jangambadi, Bangalitola, Durgakund, Naria, Sarainandan, Jolha North, Bhelupur, Kritivasheshwar, Hukulganj, Naibasti, Shivpurwa, Tulsipur, Birdopur, and Kazipura, with a combined investment of INR 858.63 crore.
These projects are part of the state's broader effort to improve urban living conditions and ensure equitable access to essential services. The initiatives will be completed in phases, with priority given to the most critical areas. On completion, they are expected to significantly contribute to the modernization and overall development of Varanasi's infrastructure.
