Central Jail Road Transforms into a Vibrant People-Centric Street in Varanasi

This road has been given a soul, the soul of a musical path, adorned with pink enamel folk art and every morning, classical music resounds from seven to nine. Even the walls sing in tune.

There was a time when this road was just an ordinary path, the Central Jail Road, where people came and went, but it remained silent.

This seemingly ordinary road had been a necessity for the city for a long time, but it was overlooked. Then, under the strong leadership of IAS Pulkit Garg, Vice Chairman of Varanasi Development Authority, this road was transformed in a very short time. It’s not just a road anymore; it’s a people-centric, healthy street.

At every step, there are facilities, safety, and beauty. There are shaded benches for the elderly. For visually impaired people, there is a tactile pathway. For children, there is an open play area. And for every pedestrian, there is a smile. There is a special place for vendors, along with on-street parking for safe movement and sitting. Colourful bollards have been designed with care and understanding.

Three-arm lights, trellises in soft colours, and greenery adorn the path. But the story doesn’t end here. This road has been given a soul, the soul of a musical path, adorned with pink enamel folk art and every morning, classical music resounds from seven to nine. Even the walls sing in tune.

At every turn, there are selfie points. This is not just a concrete road; it is a vibrant living space where everyone connects with the soul of Varanasi. Central Jail Road is now not just a route but an identity, a strong step towards a new, prosperous, and human-centric Varanasi. This initiative of Varanasi Development Authority is not just about city development but a strong step towards changing society. This is the direction of progress.
