With the city gearing up for a historic event, former Chief Minister Arjun Munda, along with Jamshedpur MP Bidyut Baran Mahto, conducted a thorough inspection of Gopal Maidan in Bistupur, Jamshedpur, in preparation for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit on September 15. The event, expected to attract thousands, marks the flagging off of the much-anticipated Vande Bharat Express from Tatanagar Railway Station, as well as the launch of several key projects for the city.
Accompanying Munda and Mahto on their visit were Deputy Commissioner Ananya Mittal, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kishan Kaushal, and several other high-ranking officials. The delegation reviewed the arrangements for the Prime Minister's public address, which will be held at Gopal Maidan after a roadshow through the streets of Bistupur.
Prime Minister Modi's visit is highly anticipated as he will not only flag off the new Vande Bharat Express from Tatanagar but also inaugurate 11 more Vande Bharat trains from the station. The project represents a significant advancement in the region’s rail connectivity and infrastructure. Additionally, several new development projects will be announced, aimed at boosting the economy and improving public services for the people of Jamshedpur.
During his visit, the Prime Minister will embark on a roadshow starting from near the Voltas building in Bistupur, making his way to Gopal Maidan, where he will address the public. The roadshow is expected to draw large crowds as residents eagerly await the Prime Minister’s appearance and his series of "gifts" to the city, which may include development projects, infrastructure improvements, and new government schemes.
To ensure the smooth execution of the event, security has been ramped up across the city, particularly around Tatanagar Railway Station and Gopal Maidan. The Special Protection Group (SPG) has already taken control of the security arrangements at Tatanagar station.
On Wednesday, a team of SPG officials, including more than a dozen officers and commandos, conducted a detailed review of the station's security preparations. Collaborating with the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP), the SPG has bolstered surveillance and protective measures to ensure the Prime Minister’s safety.
Senior officials, including DIG Manoj Chauth, IG Akhilesh Jha, and Home Secretary Amitabh Kaushal, have also visited Tatanagar station to assess the ongoing security and preparation activities. Meanwhile, painting and beautification works are underway at Tatanagar station, adding a fresh look ahead of the Prime Minister's arrival.
The visit is being viewed as a momentous occasion for Jamshedpur, as the Prime Minister is expected to lay the foundation stone for several projects aimed at driving economic growth, infrastructure development, and employment generation in the region. This visit also underscores the importance of Jamshedpur in the state's development plans and the government’s commitment to advancing Jharkhand’s infrastructure.
As the city prepares to welcome Prime Minister Modi, there is a palpable sense of excitement and anticipation among the residents. The announcement of the Vande Bharat Express and other key projects is expected to have a long-term positive impact on the region, bringing enhanced connectivity and development to the industrial hub of Jharkhand.
