Delhi will stay on high alert on Sunday for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s swearing-in ceremony. Delhi Police officials have stated that a multi-layered security setup, including five paramilitary units, NSG commandos, drones, and snipers, will cover the Rashtrapati Bhawan for the event.

With dignitaries from SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) nations invited to the ceremony, the security arrangements are expected to be similar to those implemented for the G20 summit last year.

Police officials also mentioned that designated routes will be provided for dignitaries attending the swearing-in ceremony, ensuring secure travel from their hotels to the venue and back.

Snipers and armed police personnel will be deployed along the routes of the dignitaries, while drones will be strategically stationed throughout the national capital. The swearing-in ceremony is expected to be attended by top leaders from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Bhutan, Nepal, Mauritius, and Seychelles. Hotels such as Leela, Taj, ITC Maurya, Claridges, and Oberoi have already come under security coverage.
