The swearing-in ceremony of Narendra Modi’s as Prime Minister of India is set to take place with stringent security measures implemented across Delhi. Here are the key details:

1. High-Level Security Review: Senior Delhi Police officials, including the Commissioner and Special Commissioner of Police (Law & Order), conducted a detailed security review at Rashtrapati Bhavan.
2. Foreign Dignitaries’ Protection: Special security arrangements are in place for visiting dignitaries such as Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe. Their stay and movements are being closely monitored and protected.
3. Hotel Security: Security has been heightened at the hotels where these foreign guests will be staying, ensuring their safety during the event.
4. No-Fly Zone Implementation: The airspace over central Delhi has been declared a no-fly zone, with strict prohibitions on the use of any aerial platforms like drones, paragliders, and microlight aircraft.

1. Public Advisory: The Delhi Police have issued advisories for the public, detailing the security restrictions that will be in place from June 9-10, urging citizens to avoid the restricted areas unless necessary.
2. Prohibited Aerial Platforms: Specific bans on the operation of aerial devices such as drones, gliders, and hot air balloons have been enforced to prevent any potential security threats.
3. Legal Penalties: Any violation of these security measures will lead to prosecution under Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which deals with disobedience to an order lawfully promulgated by a public servant.
4. Event Adjustments: The customary Change of Guard Ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan, which usually takes place every Saturday, has been cancelled for June 8 to accommodate the enhanced security preparations.
5. Security Rationale: These measures are being implemented in light of Narendra Modi’s official appointment as the Prime Minister-designate by President Droupadi Murmu, following the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) electoral victory.
6. Election Results and Context: In the recent general elections, the BJP secured 240 seats, while the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) as a whole won 293 seats. This significant majority underscores the importance and scale of the swearing-in ceremony.
