Varanasi: In a major boost to tourism, a new road avoiding congested areas will now be constructed to link Sarnath with Ring Road, which provides connectivity with Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport as well as all the major highways, including Varanasi-Lucknow Highway (NH-56) and Varanasi-Ghazipur Highway (NH-29). The proposed world-class road will be based on the theme of Buddhism.
A proposal to this effect is in its final stage, almost two and half years after the directives issued by Union minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who asked the officials to explore the possibility of developing a one-km road connecting Ring Road with Sarnath on Buddhist theme.

Varanasi: The mortal remains of the martyred CRPF personnel Dharmdev Kumar (34) were consigned to flames with full state honour at Manikarnika Ghat on Tuesday.
Dharmadev, resident of Thekaha village in Chandauli district, was one of the brave security personnel who were martyred in Chhattisgarh while fighting the Naxalites on April 3.
A pall of gloom descended on the villagers when his body reached his native village. The family members were in a state of shock when they got the information of his demise in the fight. His younger brother Dhananjay Kumar is also in CRPF, while his father Ramasare Gupta runs a shop. Dharmdev is survived by his wife Meena Devi and two daughters Jyoti (11) and Sakshi (4). He had joined the CRPF in 2012.
