PM Modi to lay foundation stone of International Cricket Stadium in Varanasi today

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone of an International Cricket Stadium in Uttar Pradesh’s Varanasi today.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has spent Rs 121 crores on land acquisition to construct the stadium while the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has earmarked a budget of Rs 330 crores for the stadium’s construction.

The thematic architecture of this stadium draws inspiration from Lord Shiva, with designs developed for crescent-shaped roof covers, trident-shaped floodlights, ghat steps-based seating, and Bilvipatra-shaped metallic sheets on the facade. The stadium will have a capacity of 30,000 spectators.

Lauding PM Modi ahead of his visit on Saturday, CM Yogi wrote on X, “Tomorrow another golden chapter is going to be added in the journey of Baba Shri Vishwanath ji’s holy city Kashi. Respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji will lay the foundation stone of ‘International Cricket Stadium’ costing approximately Rs 451 crores in Varanasi tomorrow.”

“Apart from this, Kashi MP will also inaugurate 16 newly constructed Atal Residential Schools at a cost of approximately ₹ 1,115 crore by participating in the closing and prize distribution ceremony of the Cultural Mahotsav 2023. Your hearty congratulations Prime Minister!” he added.
