Chief Minister KCR is leaving no stone unturned to see that the first visit of the PM would become a grand success and this would pave way for better funds allocation to the TS.

Over 5,000 police personnel will be deployed as part of the security arrangement for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s maiden visit to Telangana on August 7.

Around 1.5 lakh turnout is expected at the joint public meeting to be addressed by Modi and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao at Gajwel in Medak district.

“Our priority is to maintain peace and security during the Prime Minster’s visit. As many as 5,000 police personnel will be deployed during his visit. We have identified four specific locations where security will be at its peak.

Security on the way from Hyderabad to Gajwel will be tightened,” Deputy Inspector General of Police (Hyderabad range), Akun Sabhrwal told PTI today.

The officer said a total of 50 fixed metal detectors will be installed at all important entry points of the public meeting.

“The ground where the public meeting will be held has a capacity of 2.5 lakh. We expect the crowd to be around 1.5 lakh for the meeting,” he said.
