Mangaluru, Oct 29: Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in coastal Karnataka’s Dakshina Kannada district on Sunday to take part in various functions.

Mr. Modi landed at the Mangaluru airport from New Delhi and flew to Dharmasthala in a helicopter. The Prime Minister offered prayers at the Manjunatheshwara Temple in Dharmasthala.

Mr Modi is the first sitting PM to visit Dharmasthala temple. Though Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi had offered prayers in the same temple in the past, they were not PMs during their visit.

On account of the Prime Minister’s visit, the temple administration has restricted public entry till 2 p.m. on October 29.

Mr. Modi will later address a public rally at Ujjire town near Dharmasthala and hand over RuPay cards to the Pradhan Mantri Jan Than Yojana (PMJDY) account holders.

Later in the day, Mr. Modi will fly to Bengaluru to attend a public function organised by the Vedanta Bharati at the Palace Grounds.

In the evening, he would inaugurate the 110-km Bidar-Kalaburgi railway track in the Hyderabad-Karnataka region that would reduce the distance between Bengaluru and New Delhi by 380-km and travel time by six to eight hours.

Tight Security

Security has been tightened in Dharmasthala and Ujire in the wake of Modi’s visit.

The personnel of the elite Special Protection Group have been keeping vigil on strategic points in the town. Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad teams have also been stationed.

The Public Works department has constructed two helipads at a cost of Rs 15 lakh in Dharmasthala. All the vehicles from Mangaluru to Dharmasthala should ply via Mangaluru-BC Road-Uppinangady-Nelyadi-Periyashanthi-Kokkada-Niddle-Dharmasthala.
