Municipal Commissioner Himanshu Nagpal announced that a roadmap for the relocation has been finalized, with the first phase of implementation expected to commence shortly. Five specific locations have been identified for this initial phase, strategically placed near the city’s outer boundaries to minimize disruption to residents while facilitating regulated commercial activity. The designated areas for the meat and fish shops include Ramnagar, Sujabad, Ganeshpur, Awaleshpur, and Shivpur. The initiative is part of broader efforts to improve urban management, sanitation, and traffic conditions in Varanasi.
