Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s return to Varanasi promises high energy and heightened security. Police Commissioner Mohit Agarwal shared insights into the robust preparations for the PM’s April 28-29 itinerary, focusing on the massive women’s rally that will dominate headlines.
At BL Ground, 40,000 women are set to participate in the Nari Vandana Rally, a testament to grassroots empowerment. Security is exclusively handled by women cops—1,500 strong—to create a safe space. The venue bristles with tech: full CCTV coverage, anti-drone tech, and elite QRT and ATS teams armed to the teeth.
Barricading is extensive, from the rally site to the PM’s travel route and greeting zones. Over 2,000 officers will patrol the path, ensuring airtight protection. Traffic management prioritizes the public, with smart diversions to keep the city moving.
Enthusiasm is palpable. Women residents spoke of their joy, vowing floral tributes, resounding conches, and heartfelt aartis for their leader. The PM lands at 5 PM on the 28th for a key women’s event, unveiling Rs 6,350 crore in development initiatives and delivering a stirring speech.
Day two kicks off with darshan at Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple, followed by a swift departure to Hardoi for the Ganga Expressway launch at 11:30 AM, complete with a public rally. Varanasi’s streets reflect the blend of devotion, development, and disciplined security.
