Coimbatore, March 29: Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Coimbatore on Sunday, extensive security arrangements have been implemented across the city. He will be passing through Coimbatore to campaign for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Kerala.
Authorities have declared several areas in and around Coimbatore as “Red Zones,” imposing strict restrictions on drone operations and public transportation. These measures are part of a comprehensive security protocol designed to ensure the safe arrival and departure of the Prime Minister at Coimbatore Airport.
According to police officials, there is a complete ban on drone usage in sensitive areas under the jurisdiction of Coimbatore Rural Police, including Neelampur, Chinthamani Pudhur, Chettipalayam, Madhukarai, Ettimadai, Valayar, and surrounding regions until 5 PM on Sunday.
Similarly, Coimbatore City Police have enforced Red Zone regulations for 48 hours in major urban areas such as Avinashi Road, Peelamedu, SITRA, Nehru Nagar, Singanallur, SIHS Colony, Chinniyampalayam, Kalapatti, Kochi-Palakkad Road, Pothanur, Sundarpuram, and Ichhaneri.
Approximately 5,000 police personnel have been deployed throughout the district, with a three-tier security system established around the airport and its vicinity. Enhanced surveillance systems are being utilized, and access to critical areas is being strictly controlled.
