Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to visit Dehradun on Friday for 2 major public programmes, including a state foundation day gathering and a ceremony recognising the Uttarakhand Police.

Shah is expected to reach the event venue at Parade Ground at about morning 11:50 AM. He will attend the programme marking the 26th anniversary of Uttarakhand’s establishment and address the public gathering. The Home Minister is scheduled to remain at the statehood celebration for about 2 hours.

He will then travel to Police Line Race Course, where the Uttarakhand Police will hold the President’s Police Colour ceremony. The programme is scheduled to begin at about afternoon one:50. Shah will present the President’s Police Colour to the force during the event.

Security arrangements and expected attendance

Police security has been strengthened ahead of the visit. Intensive checking is being conducted at checks along the border, and 10 suspected people have been taken into custody, according to the arrangements reported ahead of the Home Minister’s arrival.

The Bharatiya Janata Party expects a large crowd at Shah’s public meeting. Party leaders said between 35,000 and 40,000 people are expected to attend the Dehradun gathering.

State BJP general secretary Kundan Parihar said workers and members of the public were enthusiastic about hearing Shah. He also said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Shah have a special connection with Uttarakhand, which the party believes is reflected in policies and development-related work in the state.

Parihar referred to Shah’s earlier programme in Haridwar, where he said more than 1,00,000 people attended. State BJP general secretary Tarun Bansal said people were looking forward to Shah’s views on national challenges and Uttarakhand’s development.

BJP meeting poned

Shah was also scheduled to attend a meeting of the BJP’s core committee during the visit. That meeting has been poned for reasons not specified in the available report.

Bansal said Uttarakhand residents wanted Shah to visit the state repeatedly and announce measures benefiting the region. He also linked the Home Minister’s messages on border and internal security with the state’s interests.

The 2 scheduled programmes will place the focus on Uttarakhand’s statehood anniversary and the formal presentation of the President’s Police Colour to the state police. The expected turnout and enhanced security arrangements are likely to shape the day’s public movement in Dehradun.

Conclusion

Amit Shah’s Friday itinerary in Dehradun includes the 26th state foundation day programme at Parade Ground and the President’s Police Colour ceremony at Police Line Race Course, with heightened security and an expected gathering of 35,000 to 40,000 people.
