Around 10,000 security personnel from the State and Central agencies will be deployed in the city on bandobast. Further measures have also been taken in view of the beheading of a tailor in Udaipur on Tuesday.
As Union Ministers, Chief Ministers of several BJP ruled states are also coming to the city to take part in these events, and will be residing at multiple locations across the city, security has been heightened at these places and security agencies have already taken control of these locations.
Police confirmed that since some locations are public spaces, details of guests who are already staying there, are being verified. Further, security agencies have also been alerted to keep a close tab on social media activities, particularly in view of the recent protests against Agnipath scheme. The Agnipath protests were mobilised through social media platforms. Security agencies have been directed to ensure such incidents are not repeated during the PM’s visit to the city.
