The BJP has assigned 16 points for the public to greet Modi on the route to ensure a grand welcome. The PM, who is coming to Varanasi for the second time in a fortnight, also went to Bareka from the airport by road on February 22.
During his visit to Varanasi, PM Modi also flagged off the third train operated by Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), Kashi Mahaka Express, which will run between Varanasi and Madhya Pradesh's Indore.
