On Sunday, delhi will be on high alert for the swearing-in of prime minister Narendra Modi. The Rashtrapati Bhawan would be covered by a multi-layered security system for the ceremony, including drones, snipers, NSG commandos, and five companies of paramilitary troops, according to delhi police authorities.
 
The security cover for today's ceremony, which is expected to be attended by delegates from SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) states, is probably going to be similar to the one used for the G20 conference last year. Additionally, according to police authorities, there will be special routes for the dignitaries attending the swearing-in to take from their hotels to the event and back. An official notice by the delhi police on friday highlighted the prohibition on certain flying objects in Delhi.
Drones will be stationed in key areas of the nation's capital, while sharpshooters and armed police officers will continue to be present along the dignitaries' journeys.
 
Top officials from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Bhutan, Nepal, Mauritius, and the seychelles are expected to attend the swearing-in event. As a result, hotels in the city, including the Leela, Taj, ITC Maurya, Claridges, and Oberoi, have already been placed under protection.
 
Snipers will be stationed at key places and high-rise buildings, while facial recognition and artificial intelligence technologies will be utilised for scanning and intrusion warning systems.

Since the ceremony is slated to take place within Rashtrapati Bhawan, there will be three levels of security in place both inside and outside the building.
 
On the day of the ceremony, commandos from the delhi Police's NSG and SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) units would continue to be stationed around the President's residence and other key spots.
 
"Around 2500 police personnel, including five companies of paramilitary and delhi Armed police (DAP) jawans, have been planned to be deployed around the venue," a source told PTI.
