A team of top police and intelligence officials on Wednesday reached Daltonganj and reviewed the security arrangements for the visit of the Prime minister, Narendra Modi, here on November 21.
The team included ADG K S Meena, Special Secretary ( Home) Deshmukh, ADG ( special branch) Rezi Dundung and IG CRPF R K Mishra.
The team surveyed the Chiyanki field where he PM Modi is to address the poll gathering here.
Sources in the security set up said the deliberations went on for an hour. The top officials even spoke to the contractor engaged in building the roastrum as hundreds of bamboos are invloved in the barricading and the bamboos are also under the scanner.
last time Modi had come during the lok sabha election and had to his credit then the largest and the biggest gathering of people here.
If the BJP workers are to be believed then the gathering was in the range of 60,000 to 70,000 then in Modi’s lok sabha campaign here. And this had an effect too when the BJP candidate V D Ram a former IPS officer for lok sabha won hands down the Palamu lok sabha seat with more than 2.60 lakhs of votes.
As the venue of Modi’s visit is near NH-75 the administration is leaving no stone unturned for the its safety and security. The locale of the meeting is in a zone where there are situated many prestigious schools and there is a widespread talk that these schools may declare a holiday on this day since school buses get jammed in this kind of programme.
Sources said in times of nomination here many school buses got detained by the jam and children had to spend 3 to 4 hours inside the buses then and their parents made too much noise over this jam affair then.
Sources said in Modi’s visit the crowd of people is expected to be again a record breaking event as every voter here says ‘let Modi speak first then we will decide which one to vote for.’
