Restoring the Glory of Vishwanath Temple in Banaras: Why we need Kashi Vishwanath Corridor?

Look what we are doing to the world famous Kashi Vishwanath Temple. The area around it has been badly encroached upon and several small temples have been occupied, partly demolished and shops opened in. The Banaras administration is trying to remove this encroachment but a campaign of lies is being run misinforming people that the govt. is demolishing the temples. In fact, many small temples have been reclaimed from encroachment and handed over to Archaeological Survey of India for restoration.

The govt is also buying around 170 houses, paying more than twice the market price to create a wide corridor between Vishwanath temple and the Ganga river. People could then come straight for darshan of Vishwanath ji after taking a dip in the holy Ganga. Today they have to stand and wait hours in the narrow lanes approaching the Vishwanath temple. Here is a short film by Vijay Rana.
