The state capital was turned into a virtual fortress by Friday to welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday morning. Bamboo barricades came up on Bailey Road and Fraser Road on the route of his cavalcade. A security drill was carried out on Bailey Road around 11am on Friday, which brought traffic to a standstill. Public entry was barred at Veterinary College ground and Sri Krishna Memorial Hall, where the PM is scheduled to take part in two official events. Similar security arrangements were in place at Muzaffarpur also, where Modi would hold a rally later in the day. The Telegraph presents a brief outline of how the city would be during the PM’s visit
