Amit Shah Lands in Bhubaneswar

Union Home Minister Amit Shah arrived in Bhubaneswar on March 6 and began a busy schedule across Cuttack, Paradip, Jatani, and Bhubaneswar.

Shah left for Mundali in Cuttack to attend the 57th Raising Day ceremony of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). He will then fly to Paradip and inaugurate a sulphuric acid plant of the Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO).

He will also participate in programmes highlighting initiatives of the Cooperation department, dairy growth, youth empowerment, and farmers’ welfare. Later, Shah will lay the foundation stone of the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) and the Central Forensic Science Laboratory’s (CFSL) Bhubaneswar campus. He will virtually inaugurate the NFSU transit campus and an exhibition on new criminal laws.

Shah will unveil 20 new Cyber Crime and Economic Offence police stations during his visit. These projects aim to strengthen law enforcement and forensic infrastructure in Odisha.

Odisha Police tightened security for the Union Home Minister’s tour. The SPs of Khurda, Cuttack, and Jagatsinghpur districts, along with the Bhubaneswar DCP, remained on high alert. The Cuttack administration declared a five-km radius ‘no drone zone’ around the CISF campus in Mundali from March 3 to 6.
