Elaborate security arrangements have been implemented in Coimbatore in preparation for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit on Sunday. The city is a transit point for the Prime Minister as he campaigns for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Kerala. Multiple areas in and around Coimbatore have been designated as “Red Zones,” with strict restrictions on drone operations and public movement to ensure the Prime Minister’s safety.
Police officials have enforced a ban on drone usage in sensitive zones like Neelambur, Chinthamanipudur, and other areas under the Coimbatore Rural Police jurisdiction until Sunday evening. Additionally, the Coimbatore City Police have established Red Zone regulations in urban areas for 48 hours, including key stretches like Avinashi Road and Peelamedu.
Around 5,000 police personnel have been deployed in the district, implementing a three-tier security system at the airport and its surroundings. Surveillance measures have been heightened through advanced monitoring systems, and access to critical zones is being strictly controlled. Prime Minister Modi is expected to arrive in Coimbatore by flight before proceeding to Kerala via helicopter for his campaign activities ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections.
