Heavy Security At Tirupparankundram Temple Ahead Of PM Modi’s Visit

Security has been tightened at the historic Tirupparankundram Subramanya Swamy Temple ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit on Sunday. The temple complex and surrounding areas have been placed under heightened protection to ensure an orderly programme.

Multiple layers of security have been put in place around the shrine. Mobile signal jammers have been installed in the vicinity to prevent unauthorised communication during the Prime Minister’s visit.

Devotees will be allowed entry only after strict screening.

The premises underwent a thorough security sweep on Saturday. Teams checked surveillance systems, access points and crowd management arrangements as part of final preparations.

Vigilance has been stepped up following earlier tensions during the Karthigai Deepam festival, when disputes emerged over the lighting of lamps on a nearby hill.

With significant public and political attention expected, precautionary measures have been reinforced across the region.
