New Delhi:
Highly trained personnel from Russia’s Presidential Security Service, top commandos from India’s National Security Guard, snipers, drones, jammers, and AI monitoring – a five-layer security ring has been prepped ahead of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to India.
Putin, who is visiting India to attend the India-Russia Annual Summit at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is expected to land in Delhi tomorrow evening. According to sources, the Russian President will dine with the Prime Minister. He will receive a ceremonial welcome at Rashtrapati Bhavan the day after. Later on Friday, he is scheduled to visit Mahatma Gandhi’s memorial in Raj Ghat. Putin will then attend the summit at Hyderabad House and an event at Bharat Mandapam. He will also participate in a banquet hosted by President Droupadi Murmu at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
To ensure top security during the action-packed itinerary, over four dozen top security personnel from Russia reached Delhi beforehand, sources have said.
Along with officials of Delhi Police and the NSG, these officials are sanitising every route the Russian President’s cavalcade will pass through. Specialised drones will ensure that a control room set up for the President’s security has eyes on his cavalcade at all times. Several snipers will cover the route of the President’s movement. Jammers, AI monitoring and facial recognition cameras are some of the equipment in the massive tech deployment for Putin’s security.
According to sources, a five-layer security ring has been planned, and each of them will become active as soon as Putin lands. Everyone in the security detail will be in constant touch with the control room.
