Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sent 100 pair of jute footwear for those working at Kashi Vishwanath Dham in Varanasi. He 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. Government sources said that Modi 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.
