A large public gathering is planned at the Railway Ground in Nirala Nagar, with thousands expected to attend the event.

Extensive preparations are underway, with district authorities collaborating closely with the Special Protection Group (SPG) to ensure comprehensive security for the high-profile visit.

Multiple entry and exit points will be set up, alongside drinking water stations and emergency medical services. Local police have conducted intensive security drills, and a detailed traffic management plan is being developed to address potential congestion.

BJP workers have launched grassroots mobilisation efforts, canvassing door-to-door to raise awareness about the Prime Minister’s visit and the upcoming projects.

To ensure the smooth operation of the event, the district administration has formed various committees dedicated to crowd control, parking management, and emergency response.
