Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sent 100 pairs of jute footwear for those working at Kashi Vishwanath Dham to ensure they don’t have to work barefooted.

Having been deeply involved with Kashi Vishwanath Dham and keenly involved in all issues and developments in Varanasi, PM recently found that most people working at Kashi Vishwanath Dham performed their duty bare-footed because it is forbidden to wear footwear made with leather or rubber in the temple premises. These include priests, people performing seva, security guards, sanitation workers and others.

“The PM immediately got 100 pairs of jute footwear procured and sent over to Kashi Vishwanath Dham, so that those performing their duties don’t have to stay bare-footed in the chilling cold,” an official statement said.

The people working at Kashi Vishwanath Dham were very happy at the gesture.
