Home Minister Amit Shah arrived in Mansa today under a 2‑km security perimeter, with around 3,000 police personnel assigned for his protection.
Home Minister Amit Shah reached Mansa in Punjab today as part of his ongoing engagements in the state. To ensure his safety, authorities established a 2‑kilometre red zone around the venue of his visit.
Approximately 3,000 police officers, drawn from local and state forces, were deployed to monitor the perimeter, manage traffic and respond to any security contingencies. The extensive deployment reflects the high level of precaution typically observed for senior ministers travelling to smaller towns.
The red zone has resulted in temporary road closures and rerouting of public transport within the city limits, prompting local officials to advise commuters to plan alternate routes. Security teams are maintaining a visible presence throughout the day, while the minister proceeds with his scheduled program.
