Prime Minister’s arrival in Ranchi and the programs scheduled in Gumla, Palamu, and Chaibasa have prompted the deployment of security from the police headquarters. A total of 19 IPS officers have been assigned to these four districts. Additionally, 99 officers of ASP and DSP ranks have also been deployed. About two thousand extra police personnel have been stationed at each program location, including inspectors, sub-inspectors, and ASIs, along with constables.
As the Prime Minister departs from Birsa Munda Airport and proceeds via Harmu Bypass to Raj Bhavan, special security arrangements will be in place. Surrounding areas where public entry is expected have also been barricaded, with police personnel stationed on both sides of the roads. Stringent security measures have been implemented outside the airport premises, including patrols by personnel and inspections of tall buildings along the route. On Thursday, deployed personnel and police officers received briefings on various security aspects.
The Jharkhand police is fully prepared for the Prime Minister’s visit. On Thursday, IPS officers, police officials, and personnel gathered in the courtyard of the displaced building in Dhurwa. Here, IG Pankaj Kamboj, DIG Anup Birthare, SSP Chandan Kumar Sinha, and City SP Rajkumar Mehta briefed the personnel on security-related matters.
The Ranchi district administration has declared all routes through which the Prime Minister will pass as no-flying zones.

Additionally, a prohibition order (Section 144) has been imposed in these areas. Mock drills were conducted by SPG and Ranchi police from the airport to Raj Bhavan and vice versa.
