India: Tight security, related disruptions likely in parts of Bihar State March 2 amid prime minister's official visit
Tight security and disruptions likely in parts of Bihar State, India, March 2 amid prime minister's official visit.
Increased security and related disruptions to transport and business are almost certain in parts of Bihar March 2 during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the state. Modi will inaugurate several development projects and address public gatherings in Aurangabad and Begusarai districts. In Aurangabad, the prime minister will purportedly address a rally in Ratanua near Grand Trunk (GT) Road. Further details regarding gathering locations and start times are unclear.
Modi may also visit prominent government buildings and cultural sites in Bihar. Activists could stage gatherings near areas hosting the prime minister.
Heightened security measures, including vehicular checks, are likely around related events. Associated transport and business disruptions are probable.
Exercise caution in the affected areas. Confirm business appointments, road statuses, and transport reservations through the evening of March 2. Avoid any demonstrations that materialize. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Plan for travel delays and business disruptions in areas that Modi visits. Carry proper identification documents to present at any security checks that authorities set up. Heed all official security and transport advisories.
