Dibrugarh (Assam), 05 February (HS): A crucial preparatory and security review meeting was held in Moran, attended by Assam Chief Secretary Ravi Kota, Director General of Police Harmeet Singh, senior officers of the Indian Air Force, the District Commissioner and officials from various government departments. The meeting focused on security arrangements, traffic management, crowd control and the technical aspects related to aircraft landing and take-off on the highway.

Officials reviewed all logistical and security measures to ensure the smooth and incident-free conduct of the high-profile programme, ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s scheduled visit to Moran on February 14. Top-level preparations are underway for the historic landing of the Prime Minister’s aircraft on the Emergency Landing Facility (ELF) constructed on the national highway.

The administration has directed all concerned departments to remain on high alert and work in close coordination to avoid any lapses.

As part of the preparations, trial runs of aircraft operations will commence from February 8. Both the trial runs and the main event will be open for public viewing, offering a rare, once-in-a-lifetime experience, especially for children and youth. Officials believe the event will inspire young minds by showcasing India’s aviation capabilities and emergency preparedness.

During his Assam visit, Prime Minister Modi will also inaugurate the long-awaited bridge connecting Guwahati and North Guwahati.
