Narendra Modi swearing-in ceremony: Security enhanced across Delhi
In view of Narendra Modi’s swearing-in ceremony as the prime minister of India on Sunday, the authorities have put in place massive security arrangements in and around Delhi, including imposing prohibitory orders and declaring the city a no-flying zone.
Narendra Modi shows the media a letter that he received from President Droupadi Murmu inviting him to form a new government.
President Droupadi Murmu will administer the oath of office and secrecy to Modi and his cabinet ministers at 7:15 pm on Sunday, at the Rashtrapati Bhavan’s Forecourt.
Top officials of the Delhi Police conducted a thorough security review at the Rashtrapati Bhavan as part of the preparations for the mega event.
Special security measures have also been taken for foreign dignitaries, including Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremasinghe and Bhutanese Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay, who are few of the global leaders arriving in the national capital to attend PM Modi’s oath ceremony.
Additionally, the city police have issued an advisory announcing a ‘No-Fly Zone’ over the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi.
Modi was elected as NDA’s Parliamentary leader after a meeting of the alliance’s newly elected MPs was held in the Parliament’s central hall on Friday.
Later in the day, he met President Murmu and staked a claim to form the government. She appointed Modi as the prime minister-designate after BJP president J P Nadda handed her a letter saying the former had been elected as the leader of the BJP Parliamentary Party.
