On 5 Jan 2022 morning PM @narendramodi landed at Bathinda from where he was to go to the National Martyrs Memorial at Hussainiwala by helicopter. Due to rain and poor visibility, the Prime Minister waited for about 20 minutes for the weather to clear out.
PM Security Lapse 1
Due to bad weather, it was decided that PM @narendramodi would visit National Marytrs Memorial via road, which would take more than two hours. He proceeded to travel by road after confirmation of necessary security arrangements by DGP Punjab Police.
PM Security Lapse 2
30 km away from National Martyrs Memorial in Hussainiwala, when PM @narendramodi ’s convoy reached a flyover, it was found that the road was blocked by some protestors.
PM was stuck on the flyover for 15-20 minutes. This was a major lapse in PM's security.
PM Security Lapse 3
PM @narendramodi 's travel plan was communicated well in advance to #Punjab Government. As per procedure, they have to make necessary arrangements for logistics, security as well as keep a contingency plan ready.
PM Security Lapse 4
Only #Punjab Police knew about PM @narendramodi 's travel route. In view of the contingency plan Punjab Government should have deployed additional security to secure any movement by road.
Clearly, route plan was leaked.
Adequate security was not deployed.
PM Security Lapse 5
Due to this security lapse, the worst in recent years, by #Punjab Government and Punjab Police, it was decided that PM @narendramodi would head back to Bathinda Airport.
PM Security Lapse 6
Union Ministry of Home Affairs has taken cognisance of this massive security lapse and sought a detailed report from #Punjab Government. State Government has also been asked to fix responsibility for this lapse and take strict action.

Stay calm and get #vaccinated
Do NOT trust bogus media reports claiming 'expired vaccines' are being administered in #India
As usual, such reports are false and malicious, aimed at creating vaccine hesitancy so media can harvest #COVID19 horror stories and profit from them.
n1
Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO), Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of #India, had earlier approved extension of shelf life of Covaxin and Covishield vaccines to 12 months and 9 months, respectively.
n2
The extension of shelf life of Covaxin and Covishield was widely publicised in 2021. It has been common knowledge.
Yet, some misleading reports have appeared, falsely alleging expired vaccines are being administered in #India under its national vaccination programme.
n3
A historic decision.
In a bold move that has the potential of transforming the lives of women and girls in #India, and is a step forward in the direction of gender equality, the Union Cabinet has approved a Bill to make the age of marriage for both men and women 21 years.
n1
Union Government will now introduce the Bill—‘The Prohibition of Child Marriage (Amendment) Bill, 2021’—in Parliament for amendments in ‘The Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 (PCMA)’ for making the age of marriage equal at 21 years for both males and females.
n2
The Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles of State Policy (particularly the Right to Equality and Right against Exploitation) in #Constitution of #India guarantees gender equality. The proposed legislation will bring women on equal footing with men.
n3

We know what #Varanasi looks like today; what it looked like in 2014. I first visited the oldest living city to do a feature for The Statesman 35 years ago.
Since then, I have visited Varanasi several times. During one visit, I acquired a set of old prints. Sharing them. #Kashi

Have you heard of Saryu Nahar National Project? You wouldn't have because it did not fit into media's agenda. This project had been lying 'pending' for nearly 40 years. It has now been completed in 4 years. #SaryuNahar #ModiHaiToMumkinHai
PM @narendramodi will be at Balrampur, UP, today to inaugurate Saryu Nahar National Project.
It will irrigate 14 lakh hectares and benefit 29 lakh farmers in 6200 villages of eastern #UP
It interlinks Ghaghara, Saryu, Rapti, Banganga and Rohini. #SaryuNahar #ModiHaiToMumkinHai
Work on the project started in 1978 but was not completed. PM @narendramodi 's vision for farmer welfare and empowerment, and his commitment to prioritise long pending projects of national importance, have ensured completion of the project. #SaryuNahar #ModiHaiToMumkinHai
