flag A ₹224-crore Varanasi road project displaces 1,000+ residents and shopkeepers, sparking protests over inadequate compensation and timing during Ramzan.

flag A ₹224-crore road-widening project in Varanasi’s Dal Mandi area, part of the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor, is displacing over 1,000 shopkeepers and residents by demolishing 187 buildings along a 650-meter stretch to improve temple access. flag Officials offer compensation at twice the circle rate—₹44,000 per square meter—but traders say it falls short of market value, especially for renters. flag Many fear business collapse, with some reporting emotional distress and a building owner setting fire to his property. flag The demolition, proceeding during Ramzan, has sparked protests and criticism over timing and impact on a historically significant, multi-generational market.
