Imphal, November 28 2014 :
In view of the maiden visit of Prime Minister Narendar Modi and his 90-minute sojourn at the state capital for participation in the closing ceremony of Sangai Festival on November 30, the Special Protection Group (SPG) has begun thorough search at the venue of the state festival specially the premises of Bheigyachandra Open Air Theatre.
On instruction by the SPG assigned to ensure safe visit of Indian Premier, state police will pump out water from the two ponds beside the BOAT to guarantee that there is no undesirable element in the water bodies.
As intimated by a highly placed source, the ponds which have been adorning the BOAT premises will be cleared of water on Saturday.

After emptying the ponds, security persons will make a detailed search of the area by using metal detectors.
After the search, the ponds will be filled with fresh water to beautify the BOAT complex, said the source.
As part of the search operation, the SPG team broke open all the lighting system fitted on the stairs inside the BOAT.
The lighting system was seen laid bare till today afternoon.
Meanwhile, the state Art and Culture department has begun to make all out efforts to decorate the BOAT.
Barricades have been put inside the open air theatre complex as a security measure for the prime minister's presence at the Sangai Festival closing ceremony.
All unruly cable wires have been re-fitted on instruction by the SPG.
However, most of the lighting system was not changed as it would take at least a few days for repairing.
Additional Closed Circuit TV Cameras have been fixed in and around the Sangai Festival venue, while visitors at the festival were asked to remove their caps and face-masks, added the source.
