# Rs 300-crore Maa Sheetla corridor proposed in Kaushambi 2026-08-17T09:42:37+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Uttar Pradesh district administration has proposed a Maa Sheetla Corridor at Kada Dham in Kaushambi, estimated to cost more than Rs 300 crore. The plan aims to develop the Maa Sheetla Dham, a Shakti Peeth on the Ganga banks, into a major religious tourism hub with improved facilities for pilgrims. District magistrate Amit Pal said a proposal to appoint an architect has been sent to the state government. Once approved, the architect will be selected, followed by an executing agency and a detailed project report, Hindustan Times reports. The development plan includes beautification of Ganga ghats, a floating jetty, pilgrim accommodation, a cafeteria, parking, and better roads, drinking water and sewerage. The project follows similar temple corridors developed in Prayagraj during the Mahakumbh-2025. The administration is also separately working on a permanent ghat between Kubri and Kaleshwar ghats. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
