Iconic Varanasi Eateries Demolished for Road Expansion

Iconic Varanasi Eateries Demolished for Road Expansion

In Varanasi, two popular food shops, Chachi Ki Dukan and Pahelwan Lassi, were torn down.

This happened because the government is making the road bigger.

The shops were in the way of the new road, so they had to go.

The government had warned the shop owners before.

Many people are sad because they loved the food and the shops were famous.

People, including celebrities, visited Pahelwan Lassi.

For many in Varanasi, Chachi Ki Dukan was a part of the city's culture.
