Concerned About Barefooted Workers in Cold, Modi Sends 100 Pairs of Jute Footwear to Vishwanath Dham

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sent 100 pairs of jute footwear for those working at KashiKashiKashi Vishwanath Dham, in his Lok Sabha constituency of Varanasi.

This is because it's forbidden to wear footwear made of leather or rubber on the temple premises. Nobody is exempt from this decree, including priests, people performing seva, security guards, sanitation workers and others.

The prime minister immediately had 100 pairs of jute footwear procured and sent them over to Kashi Vishwanath Dham, so that those performing their duties don’t have to remain bare-footed in the cold weather.
