Kolkata, Jun 25 (PTI) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is expected to visit Digha on Wednesday to take part in the 'Rath Yatra' at the newly constructed Jagannath temple, according to a senior government official.

Mamata Banerjee had initially planned to leave for Digha on Thursday, but her itinerary was revised, the official stated.

"The Chief Minister is likely to depart for Digha this afternoon. The schedule was changed after assessing the weather conditions," the official informed PTI.

The Rath Yatra is scheduled for Friday.

Upon her arrival in Digha, Banerjee is expected to oversee the preparations for the Rath Yatra from the newly built Jagannath Temple.

On Thursday, the West Bengal CM is anticipated to partake in the 'Netra Utsav,' a festival celebrated a day before the Rath Yatra.

The festival marks the significant occasion when Lord Jagannath, along with Balabhadra and Subhadra, reappears to the public after 14 days of seclusion following the Snana Yatra.
