00:00It's been a tradition that the Prime Minister of the country would be at a certain location for the Dashera
00:05event.
00:06So what is Prime Minister Narendra Modi's itinerary looking like for this evening?
00:09PM Modi is scheduled to attend the Grand Dashera Celebrations at IP Extension in East Delhi this evening.
00:17Organised by the Sri Ramlila Committee in the press, the event will feature traditional burning or as it's called the
00:22Ravan Dehen
00:23and alongside other effigies as well.
00:26And this is going to be interesting because this time there is always some theme usually that inspires the ones
00:33for the organising team.
00:34This time it's against Counterfeit Medicine Syndicate.
00:39The Delhi Police have deployed multi-layered security protocol, issued travel advisory across Patparganj area in East Delhi
00:45to manage the massive festive crowds which are expected for Prime Minister's event as well.
00:49The Grand Dashera Celebration this time as is organised in of course every area and sectors across Delhi
00:55and especially in Northern India but IP Extension East Delhi is where Prime Minister Modi's event is going to be
01:03and he'll be present and while of course the country will be marking the significance of victory of good over
01:09evil
01:10but this time highlighting modern social challenges.
01:14So it's going to be very interesting.
01:15Counterfeit Medicine Syndicates.
01:17And we have seen in the recent past, India Today has constantly reported about how there has been a nexus
01:22of ungraded and exposed,
01:24how counterfeit medicines are being distributed and sold.
01:27And this time, remember, while Prime Minister Modi has been visiting Ravan Dehen events in the last 10 to 15
01:33years,
01:34different locations.
01:35Piyush Mishra is going to join us here.
01:37Piyush, if I'm correct, usually there has been a set location.
01:41Often the old Delhi area, the Red Fort, Ramlila grounds.
01:47What is possibly the reason and why do you think this changed?
01:50IP Extension East Delhi, if I'm correct, this should be the first time that he's going to be here.
01:56Well, Pooja, what we are told, he was supposed to go last year also.
02:00But due to rain, heavy rainfall, he could not attend the programme there at IP Extension.
02:06But this time, Piyam Narendra Modi is going to IP Extension, where he is going to attend the Dashara celebrations,
02:13which preparations are already underway there for this annual event.
02:17The organisers have almost finalised arrangements inside of the programme.
02:22And what we are told is that this programme is going to draw a large gathering.
02:27These celebrations will also be marking the festival of Dashara.
02:30And Piyam Narendra Modi, along with various caricatars of BJP and people from East Delhi are going to congregate.
02:38There by 5pm, these gatherings will be done by 5pm.
02:44We will see people reaching there at Ramlila Madhan, there at IP Extension.
02:51A few big trainings have been done.
02:54If you remember that there are multiple locations where these programmes are happening.
02:59But like you rightly mentioned, Piyam Narendra Modi has been taking part in various programmes in central Delhi.
03:05So, in Lalkila area of Delhi, we have seen him going there in Dwarka of Delhi also.
03:11But this time, he is planning to go to East Delhi at IP Extension.
03:14Last year, it fell from...
03:15So, the focus is going to be East Delhi, but also I want to give an advisory then to the
03:20residents or anyone heading to East Delhi.
03:22Remember, there is going to be a security cordon, possibly diversions as well.
03:26But it is going to be a grand event, especially for people of East Delhi,
03:28to have Prime Minister Modi visit at the IP Extension for the Ravan Dehen celebrations.
03:33And we will see you next time.
