PM security breach: Punjab Police ignores intelligence, ‘Blue Book’ rules
A senior official of the Ministry of the Interior (MHA) said that despite the information about the protesters, Punjab police did not follow the “blue book” and did not prepare emergency routes for the Prime Minister’s visit.
The Blue Book of the Special Protection Group (SPG) sets out safety guidelines for protecting the prime minister.
“According to the Blue Book, the state police must prepare emergency routes for protected persons in case of any adverse situations, such as what happened in Punjab during the Prime Minister’s visit,” MHA officials said.
He added that officers from the Intelligence Agency are in contact with the Punjab police and have issued warnings about the protesters’ activities, and the Punjab police assured them that they would provide full protection to the VIPs.
Special Protection Group (SPG) personnel still maintain close contact with the Prime Minister, while other security measures are the responsibility of the state government. The official added that if any sudden developments occur, the state police will update the SPG and VIP actions will change accordingly. In 2021, approximately 150 drone sightings were recorded at the Punjab border in Pakistan, and many such sightings are still uncounted. Many drones are also loaded with tiffin bombs, grenades, pistols and cash.
A team of MHA is seeking details of the deployment, picketing, rooftop deployment, roadblocks and other security measures taken by the Punjab police during the Prime Minister’s visit.
He added: “The intelligence agency has been asked to submit a report on the security breach.”
On November 4, Punjab police found a teapot full of explosives in a farmland near the India-Pakistan border in Ferozepur District.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi plans to visit Ferozepur on Wednesday to lay the foundation for multiple development projects worth more than Rs 42,750 crore.
The Ministry of the Interior is aware of the “serious security breach” and has sought a detailed report from the Punjab government. The state government is also required to hold accountable for this mistake and take strict action.
The Ministry of the Interior said in a statement that Prime Minister Modi landed in Batinda on Wednesday morning and will take a helicopter from there to the National Martyrs Memorial in Husseinwara. Due to rain and poor visibility, the Prime Minister waited about 20 minutes until the weather turned clear.
The statement stated that when the weather did not improve, it was decided to visit the National Martyrs Memorial by land, which took more than two hours. After the DGP Punjab Police Department confirmed the necessary security arrangements, the Prime Minister began to travel by land.
About 30 kilometers away from the National Martyrs Memorial of Husseinwara, when the prime minister’s convoy reached a flyover, the road was blocked by some protesters. The Prime Minister was trapped on the flyover for 15-20 minutes.

According to reports, Jimmy Kimmel is quitting the Late Night programme.
According to reports, Jimmy Kimmel is thinking about leaving his late-night show to devote more time to his son Billy’s continuous struggle with congenital heart problems.
This week, a number of people with knowledge of the situation disclosed that Kimmel intends to leave Jimmy Kimmel Live! after his contract expires in 2025 in order to spend more time with his wife Molly McNearney, who co-head writes the show.
Kimmel’s choice, according to Radar Online, is a result of Billy’s health issues, especially in the wake of Billy’s most recent third open-heart surgery. But now he’s a “healthy kid.”
The Late Night presenter shared the news on Instagram in late May, saying, “We went into this experience with a lot of optimism and nearly as much fear and came out with a new valve inside a happy, healthy kid.”
Sources close to Radar Online claim that the Kimmels are getting ready to step back from the spotlight. According to an informant, Jimmy and his spouse prioritise their family over notoriety. They know what to do financially, so they’re prepared to step back from the spotlight and concentrate on what matters most.
“Life is too short to waste time on a job that brings you no happiness.”
Kimmel’s spokesperson denied the findings.
Even though Kimmel’s publicist denied any talks regarding his possible resignation and called the claim “silly,” especially in light of his son’s recent surgery.
“Though they’ll likely stay busy producing and developing shows behind the scenes, their main focus will be spending precious time with their family,” an insider was quoted by Perez Hilton.
Billy’s congenital heart issue was initially made public by Kimmel in 2017, not long after Billy was born, along with the difficulties his family was facing. Billy was born with a heart condition, according to an echocardiography, a type of cardiac sonography that was performed, Kimmel disclosed on his show.
“Tetralogy of Fallot associated with pulmonary atresia.” In essence, there is a hole in the wall separating his left and right sides of the heart, and the pulmonary valve was totally obstructed.
Three days after his birth, Billy had his first successful open-heart surgery. A few months later, he had another one. Billy had his third operation last month at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. This was his most recent procedure.
