Security has been enhanced at the Tiruchi international airport in India in view of President Maithiripala Sirisena’s impending transit halt at the airport on Monday, the Hindu reported.

President Sirisena will arrive in Tiruchi around 1.45 p.m. by an Air India chartered flight from Goa where he had come to attend the BRICS- BIMSTEC outreach summit.

He will be accompanied by a 25-member high-level delegation from Goa on board the special flight.
Upon arrival, he would be given a red carpet welcome as per protocol and he would be received by Collector K.S. Palanisamy and other top officials.

Police sources said President Sirisena will be taken in a bullet-proof car to the terminal building where he would be staying for nearly two hours in the VIP lounge.

He will leave for Colombo by a Sri Lankan Airlines flight from here at around 3.30 p.m. accompanied by his entourage.

Anti-sabotage teams have already been deployed inside the airport and at vantage points. Separate teams to mount surveillance would be deployed. Security would be augmented on Monday to check vehicles at the entry gate of the airport, which is guarded round-the-clock by Central Industrial Security Force personnel.

The check post near airport would be strengthened and an additional check post would be set up.
A coordination meeting convened by Collector K.S. Palanisamy on Sunday was attended by senior officials of city police, intelligence, CISF and other agencies.

Mr. President everything is good, but having secret links with MR and trying to throw out RW is bad, he is the one who made you the President, please mind it.

Why are you angry with Ranil Mr. President? Talk to say that you want to make MR as our PM.

Kiris Baba Amaray Monday, 17 October 2016 10:52 AM

Don't forget the ladder who brought to this state. Now you are trying to kick the ladder as you have reached the top. MR will push you down using his cunning brain.

May be MR would have given the idea to MS how to become a Multi Billionaire within 2-3 years.

Manuel Benjamin Monday, 17 October 2016 10:58 AM

MS is now digging his own grave listening to MR. What a crime joining he is having secret talks with that looter.

bubble Banda Monday, 17 October 2016 11:00 AM

Nothing in special MS wants to retain as President life time and use MR to loot and give him the share. With RW it won't work.

"Air India chartered flight from Goa" what is this expense and how beneficial is it for the country? Can we have the names of the 25 persons and on what basis are they attending this BRICS summit?
