Vadodara Municipal Corporation plans felicitation event for Modi
With Prime Minister Narendra Modi expected to visit Gujarat on May 26 — his first visit since Operation Sindoor — the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) during a meeting on Tuesday decided to organise a felicitation event for the PM near Vadodara airport when he arrives en route Dahod.
Vadodara Mayor Pinky Soni said that the event will be held in the vicinity of the airport.
'This is PM Modi's first visit to Gujarat since Operation Sindoor and therefore, a felicitation has been planned. There will be a roadshow from the airport, of about one kilometer. Women and citizens of Vadodara will welcome and felicitate the Prime Minister. The programme will be about 15-20 minutes long. Vadodara is Modiji's Karmabhoomi and it is only fitting that he must be felicitated here,' Soni said.
On Tuesday, Guardian Secretary of Dahod, Rajkumar Beniwal visited Dahod to inspect the ongoing preparations for Modi's visit. Beniwal visited the Railway Locomotive Workshop, which will produce the 9000 HP WAG (Wide Gauge, Alternating Current, Goods traffic) locomotives, to be inaugurated by PM Modi as well as the venue where Modi will address the public. Beniwal also held meetings with the district administration and district police officials to plan for the visit.
On May 26, Modi will also travel from Dahod to Bhuj, where he is expected to visit the shrine of Goddess Ashapura, Mata no Madh, and also address a gathering of locals.
