Notable dignitaries expected to be in attendance alongside President Droupadi Murmu include Maharashtra Governor Ramesh Bais, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, and Deputy Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar. The responsibility for the smooth conduct of these high-profile events has been assigned to Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs) Shravan Dutt, Vijaykant Sagar, Shashikant Satav, Gorakh Bhamre, Niketan Kadam, and others, each entrusted with specific roles.
Commissioner of Police Amitesh Kumar emphasized the importance of road maintenance in the security plan. Instructions have been issued to repair potholes along the planned routes for the President’s convoy to ensure smooth movement. A full dress rehearsal is scheduled for Thursday morning, providing a comprehensive run-through of the convoy’s route, passing from Raj Bhavan to GMCH, Suresh Bhat Hall, and ultimately reaching the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport.
To bolster security measures, a company of the State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) will be strategically deployed at key points along the route. The deployment is intended to fortify security and address any potential contingencies that may arise.
