While Mandi town has been decked up to welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his public rally on Monday the weather has made the organisers a bit worried.
The PM is coming to Mandi to participate in Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav and Golden Jubilee Function of Statehood of Himachal Pradesh. Himachal Pradesh Government is also completing four years of its present term on December 27.
The Prime Minister would inaugurate 110 Megawatt (MW) Sawara –Kudu power project, lay foundation stones of 210 MW Luhri Stage I, 66 MW Dhola Sidh power projects and Renuka ji Dam project. He would also participate in the ground breaking ceremony of Global Investors Meet of nearly Rs 20,000 crores.
The district administration has made elaborate arrangements for the public meeting at Paddal ground and has decked up the Mandi town to welcome the PM.
The security has also been beefed up and personnel of Special Protection Group (SPG) have sealed the Paddal ground. Mandi district police have also deployed nearly 2000 security persons, drones and sniffer dogs. Mandi SP Shalini Agnihotri said, “Arrangement has been made to control the traffic and would ensure tight proof security as per protocol.”
Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur has been personally monitoring and inspecting every arrangement. He said, “We have covered the Paddal ground in case of rains.”

Government of Himachal Pradesh is often found ignoring protocols in respect of Corona & it’s new variant Omicron. The State has detected cases of Omicron, known to be fast spreading variant. Large gatherings may play havoc with people’s health. The neighbouring States,in this regard has already imposed night curfew in their States to contain the pandemic, but HP government in order to fulfil its political agenda ignoring the imminent risk to the health of general public.
You are right, taking utmost precaution to fight the new Omicron variant of COVID 19 is very important to check its spread .
