Modi swearing-in: 6,000 men, air defence to secure Rashtrapati Bhavan Monday

Delhi Police will be in charge of the security of the hotels where the dignitaries, including from Pakistan and Sri Lanka, will be staying, as well as their travel routes.

Delhi Police said a security ring will be thrown around Raisina Hill on which Rashtrapati Bhavan stands.

All offices around it will be shut down five hours ahead of the swearing-in ceremony, slated for 6 p.m. Monday in the forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) will put in place a defence system to secure the skies, including air surveillance.

Snipers, including NSG sharpshooters with telescopic guns, will be deployed on the top of all high-rise buildings around the area.

All roads leading to Raisina Hill will be barricaded, while mobile security teams will patrol the area.
