VARANASI: With Mahashivratri approaching on February 15, the VMC has shifted into high gear to ensure a smooth experience for devotees undertaking the Panchkroshi Yatra.
The Mayor has set a strict deadline of February 12 to make all roads leading to major Shiva temples (including Kashi Vishwanath and Mahamrityunjay) and the Panchkroshi route pothole-free.
Special cleaning campaigns will be conducted at all 'Padavs' (stops) on the pilgrimage route. The administration aims to keep the entire route "Plastic-Free."
Instructions have been issued to fix street lights and address sewer overflow issues immediately to prevent any inconvenience to the massive crowds expected.
