Narendra Modi aborts visit to Punjab’s Ferozepur due to lapse in security, says home ministry

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday had to abort his visit to Punjab’s Ferozepur due to a lapse in his security arrangements, citing a statement from the Union home ministry. Modi’s convoy was stuck on a flyover for over 15 minutes as protestors had blocked the road to Hussainiwala village in Ferozepur district.

The Ministry of Home Affairs said it has sought a detailed report from the state government and has asked Punjab authorities to take strict action against those responsible for the security lapse.
