Prime Minister Modi to hold rallies across Bhubaneswar, Odisha State, India, from 16:15 Nov. 29. Increased security, disruptions likely.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to hold rallies across Bhubaneswar from 16:15 Nov. 29 ahead of the Directors General of Police (DGPs) conference occurring from Nov. 29-Dec. 1. Initial sources indicate Modi is expected to arrive at the Biju Patnaik International Airport (BBI) where he will hold a rally before holding then a roadshow towards the Raj Bhavan. Other prominent lawmakers, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, may also join the rally. The event could attract thousands of participants.
Additional related demonstrations and counterdemonstrations may materialize across the rally locations. Potential venues include public squares, stadiums, and major thoroughfares, as well as outside government buildings. Authorities will likely deploy a heightened security presence to the sites of any demonstrations that occur. Clashes between police and activists, as well as between members of rival political camps, cannot be ruled out. Transport disruptions are likely in areas that are affected by demonstrations and heightened security. Flight disruptions are possible at BBI as Modi arrives. Associated business disruptions are also possible.
Avoid the planned rally and any other demonstrations that materialize as a standard precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Plan accordingly for transport and business disruptions. Reconfirm travel plans from BBI. Carry proper identification documents at all times. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
