Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to arrive in Bhubaneswar on Thursday evening for a two-day visit to Odisha, where he will attend official events and inaugurate several projects linked to security, forensic science and cooperative development.

According to officials, Shah is expected to land in the state capital around 8 pm and will stay overnight at a private hotel.

A major highlight of the visit will be his participation in the Central Industrial Security Force Raising Day celebrations scheduled on Friday at Mundali in Cuttack district. The event marks the foundation day of the paramilitary force that safeguards critical infrastructure and vital installations across the country.

The Home Minister will also focus on strengthening forensic infrastructure in the state. During the visit, he will lay the foundation stones for the Bhubaneswar campuses of the National Forensic Sciences University and the Central Forensic Science Laboratory in Khurda district. He is also scheduled to inaugurate the transit campus of the NFSU digitally and open an exhibition showcasing the implementation of the new criminal laws.

In addition, Shah will inaugurate the sulphuric acid plant of the Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited at its Paradip unit and participate in programmes related to cooperative initiatives, dairy development, youth empowerment and farmers’ welfare.

Authorities have stepped up security arrangements in Bhubaneswar and surrounding areas ahead of the visit. The Cuttack district administration has declared a five-kilometre radius around the CISF campus in Mundali as a no-drone zone from March 3 to March 6, while vehicle movement has also been restricted in certain areas.
