Ahead of Election Results, PM Modi To Begin 45-Hour Meditation At Vivekananda Rock Memorial In Kanyakumari
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set to embark on a 45-hour meditation on Vivekananda Rock Memorial starting on Thursday with the conclusion of the campaigning for the last phase of the election, arrangements are being put in place for the major event.
Around 2,000 police personnel and security agencies will be posted to maintain a tight vigil as PM Modi meditates. Starting from May 30 evening he will meditate to the evening of June 1.
The place has been chosen because Swami Vivekananda was believed to have received his divine vision there.
The beach will be out of bounds for tourists from Thursday to Saturday and private boats will not be allowed to ferry, PTI reported.
PM Modi will reach there in a helicopter and a trial of a helicopter landing has been conducted at the helipad.
According to reports, PM Modi will first reach Thiruvananthapuram and from there take an MI-17 helicopter to Kanyakumari, his estimated landing time being 4.35pm.
He will witness the sunset and then sit in meditation. He will return from Kanyakumari on June 1 at 3.30pm.
