Security Tightened in Jalandhar Ahead of Amit Shah’s Rally

Security personnel from Delhi were deployed in Jalandhar on Thursday in preparation for a large rally scheduled by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The teams, comprising police and central paramilitary forces, arrived early in the day and set up a perimeter around the event site.
The deployment includes a continuous guard that moves from the helipad, where officials are expected to land, to the pandal where the rally will be held. Checkpoints have been installed at key access points and traffic has been redirected to minimise congestion.
Local authorities have briefed the security units on crowd‑control protocols and have urged residents to cooperate with the heightened measures. No incidents have been reported so far, and officials say the arrangements are intended to ensure a peaceful gathering.
The rally is expected to draw a sizable crowd, prompting the authorities to adopt a layered security approach that combines aerial surveillance with ground patrols.
Overall, the reinforced security posture reflects the government's emphasis on maintaining order during high‑profile political events in the state.
