The city of Bhubaneswar is buzzing with excitement as preparations are underway for the swearing-in ceremony of the new Odisha Chief Minister, Mohan Charan Majhi, which is scheduled to take place on Wednesday. In light of this event, a source revealed that multiple levels of security have been put in place to ensure the safety and smooth execution of the ceremony.
The police force has taken extensive measures to ensure the safety of all attendees, including the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several other esteemed personalities. It was earlier announced by the BJP legislature party in Odisha that Mohan Charan Majhi will be taking over as the new Chief Minister, with Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo and Pravati Parida being named as Deputy Chief Ministers.
Commissioner of Police, Sanjeeb Panda, addressed the media on Tuesday and shared the details of the security arrangements being made for the event. He stated that a total of 67 platoons of police force will be deployed at the venue, Janata Maidan, to oversee the oath-taking ceremony of the new Chief Minister and his Council of Ministers. Panda also mentioned that Inspector General of Police, Praveen Kumar, will be in charge of overseeing the overall security arrangements.
Furthermore, Panda shared that two Deputy Inspectors General, 13 Deputy Commissioners of Police, 18 Additional DCPs, 58 Assistant Commissioners of Police, 94 Inspectors, and 312 Sub-Inspector and ASI rank officers will be present to ensure the smooth functioning of the event. In addition to this, three units of the Special Tactical Unit, a specialized urban warfare counter-terrorist force of the Odisha Police, and a team from the Odisha Disaster Rapid Action Force will also be stationed at the venue.
Panda also mentioned that security personnel will be deployed in the high-rise buildings surrounding the Janata Maidan. He assured that the venue is being thoroughly sanitized by the dog squad and Anti-Sabotage team officials. To ensure the safety of all attendees, the city police have also implemented restrictions on any vehicular movement from Jaydev Vihar Square to NALCO Square, or any connecting lanes, from 2 pm to 7 pm or until the conclusion of the function.
The recent Odisha Assembly elections saw the BJP emerge victorious with 78 out of 147 seats, effectively ending Naveen Patnaik's 24-year tenure as Chief Minister. As the city gears up for the historic swearing-in ceremony of the new Chief Minister, all eyes are on Bhubaneswar, eagerly awaiting the new era that is about to begin.
