High Alert Issued in Bihar Ahead of PM Modi’s Visit Following Pahalgam Terror Attack
Following the terror attack in Pahalgam, a high alert was issued across the entire state of Bihar on Thursday, ahead of Prime Minister Modi’s scheduled visit. The Director General of Police (DGP) stated that the state police have been instructed to exercise extreme vigilance.

In light of the terror incident in Pahalgam, Kashmir, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming visit to Bihar, the Police Headquarters has placed all districts of the state on high alert and issued directives to maintain special vigilance. Orders have been issued to intensify surveillance and conduct round-the-clock patrolling, particularly in the border districts adjacent to Nepal and Bangladesh. Furthermore, security arrangements have been bolstered at major tourist hubs, including Patna, Bodh Gaya, and Rajgir. Authorities have also been directed to further strengthen security measures at the Patna and Darbhanga airports.
