Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s arrival for the 16th Combined Commanders’ Conference, the city is bracing for sweeping traffic restrictions.
A comprehensive security cordon and major diversions will be in force from Sunday evening until Monday afternoon.
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has released details stating that the PM will inaugurate and address the apex-level defence forum, where top military and civilian leaders will discuss institutional reform, integration, and technological modernisation.
The conference runs from 15–17 September under the theme ‘Year of Reforms – Transforming for the Future’.
PM Modi is expected to land at Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport at 5:35 PM on Sunday and will travel to Raj Bhavan, where he will stay overnight.
On Monday, his schedule includes visiting Vijay Durg at Fort William to address the conference at 9:30 AM, concluding his engagement at 1:00 PM, before departing for the airport at 1:40 PM.
The Kolkata Traffic Police issued an advisory laying out the planned diversions and restrictions:
Traffic Police will adjust diversions from key arteries in line with the PM’s movements.
The Armed Forces hold the Combined Commanders’ Conference once every two years as an institutional event.
This time, it will involve high-ranking members of the Armed Forces and top civilian officials discussing India’s evolving geo‑strategic posture, reforms in military operations, and readiness for multi-domain challenges.
Officials say this year’s focus is on deepening integration across military branches and adopting new technological frameworks.
