Ferozepur, January 2
Massive security arrangements have been put in place for the proposed visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to this border district on January 5. Around two dozen senior police officers, including four IGs and eight SSPs, sleuths from intelligence agencies, NSG and paramilitary forces have been deputed to ensure foolproof security ring around the venue.
The PM is scheduled to arrive on January 5 to kick off the BJP’s poll campaign in the state. Besides, he will lay the foundation stone of PGI Satellite Centre for Ferozepur and two more medical colleges in Punjab. Modi is also expected to make several key announcements for the state. This is going to be Modi’s fourth visit to Ferozepur in the past two decades, but first in the state after scrapping of the controversial farm laws.
The farmer unions’ protest and chances of heavy rain that day are keeping the security forces on tenterhooks. — OC
