Bhubaneswar: All schools within the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) limits will close after 1 pm on November 29, ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s three-day visit to Odisha for the DG-IG conference.
The Prime Minister is expected to arrive in the state capital around 4:20 pm. Union Home Minister Amit Shah, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, and numerous top officials from security agencies will also participate in the conference, which begins Friday and is being held in Odisha for the first time.
In the meantime, Bhubaneswar is under heightened security due to threats from Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun to disrupt the event. Over 70 platoons of police and anti-terror units have been deployed throughout the city, with approximately 300 officers overseeing the security measures. Multiple areas in Bhubaneswar have been designated as no-drone and no-fly zones.
