To ensure the President's safety, a 200-metre no-fly zone has been designated from Birsa Munda Airport to Lok Bhavan, and a prohibitory order will be in force from December 28 to 30. Ranchi Superintendent of Police Paras Rana said that over 2,000 security personnel will be deployed in the city, with drones used for monitoring. High-rise buildings will also be secured, and an anti-sabotage checking drive is underway. In Jamshedpur, the East Singhbhum district administration has reviewed preparations and directed officials to ensure fool-proof security, traffic arrangements, and beautification of the programme venue.
