Bhubaneswar, Jun 27: A high‑level security review meeting was convened at the DGP Camp Office here on Saturday ahead of Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s scheduled visit to Odisha on July 4, officials said.

The meeting, chaired by Director General of Police Y.B. Khurania, was attended by senior police officers to assess law and order and finalize security arrangements for the high‑profile visit.

According to reports, Shah will undertake a one‑day programme in Odisha, during which he is slated to attend several government functions, including a key event organized by the Cooperation Department. He is also expected to participate in BJP organizational meetings.

Party sources indicated that Shah’s visit will focus on strengthening the BJP’s organizational base in the state. He is likely to hold discussions with state leaders and workers, providing guidance on key political and organizational matters.

The Odisha BJP unit has already begun intensive preparations for the visit, with party cadres mobilizing support for the public events. Meanwhile, security has been tightened across Bhubaneswar, with police deploying additional personnel and reviewing arrangements at venues expected to host the Home Minister.

Officials said the visit is significant in the backdrop of recent high‑profile programmes in Odisha. On June 20, President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi jointly visited Pahadpur village in Mayurbhanj district, marking the state government’s two‑year anniversary and the Centre’s twelve years in office. Shah’s upcoming visit is expected to add further momentum to the BJP’s activities in the state.

The DGP has directed officials to ensure seamless coordination among agencies and maintain strict vigilance during Shah’s visit. With multiple programmes lined up, the police are preparing a comprehensive security blueprint to avoid any lapses.
