PM Modi’s Udupi visit: Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Udupi on November 28 to participate in the Laksha Kantha Gita Parayana at Sri Krishna Matha, a Special Protection Group (SPG) team conducted an extensive inspection of the programme venue, stage construction area and surrounding localities on Wednesday.
Along with the SPG team, the Anti-Sabotage Check (ASC) squad also reviewed multiple layers of security arrangements. The SPG and ASC teams inspected the Adi Udupi helipad, the Karavali bypass, the city bus stand, Kalsanka Junction and finally the Sri Krishna Math premises where the mega event is set to take place.
Security agencies instructed local police to tighten security measures across the route and inside the temple area. Officials have been directed to install additional CCTV cameras, remove unauthorised banners and buntings, and clear potentially dangerous trees, branches and obstructions along the programme routes.
Authorities have also issued strict guidelines for the public. Visitors attending the event will not be allowed to carry bags, water bottles, flags or any other items. Police said advance communication will be given to ensure people adhere to the restrictions.
