Bhopal: Security was heightened in the Madhya Pradesh capital ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit on Friday, said police official.
As the Prime Minister makes his way to the city to inaugurate a war memorial, the dogs in the city have been put on notice and will be kept away from the roads.
The District Magistrate has ordered that the route to be taken by the Prime Minister's cavalcade from the airport to the parade ground should be dog-free.
All the stray dogs should be put under observation and be released only after the event gets over, said the order.
