Yogi inspects under-construction international cricket stadium in Varanasi

Varanasi, Mar 12 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday conducted an inspection of the international cricket stadium at Ganjari Rajatalab during his visit to Varanasi.
The CM reviewed the stadium model and assessed the ongoing construction work, emphasising the importance of maintaining quality and completing the project within the stipulated time frame.
He directed officials to accelerate the work on a war footing to ensure timely completion.
Officials briefed the CM in detail on the progress of the construction, including drainage systems,
road connectivity, and infrastructure planning.

Spanning 30.66 acres with an investment of Rs 451 crore, the international cricket stadium will have a seating capacity of 30,000 spectators. Once completed, it will serve as a premier training hub for young players not only from UP but also from Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh.
