Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the other seventy-two members of his new government took an oath of office. Since the Congress idol Jawaharlal Nehru, Modi is the first Prime Minister to serve three terms in office. Following a long 11-hour meeting at the Prime Minister’s residence, final choices on the new cabinet ministers were made.
Security At Rashtrapati Bhawan
Rashtrapati Bhawan, where President Droupadi Murmu bestowed the oath of office, had three layers of protection in place. Authorities added that because Delhi is still on high alert for the event, commandos from the NSG and SWAT sections of the Delhi Police were stationed around the venue and other key areas.
Moreover, for the next few days, the use of aerial platforms such as drones, paragliders, remotely piloted aircraft, and hot air balloons is prohibited in the national capital, which has been declared a no-fly zone by the police.
