Chennai, Mar 3 (UNI) Just 5 days after his 2-day visit to Tamil Nadu, Prime Minister
Narendra Modi will be visiting the State again on a short visit on Monday.
Upon landing at the airport from Maharahstra in the afternoon around 1445 hrs, he will
fly to Kalpakkam, about 70 km from here, in a helicopter where he will review the
progress of India's first Fast Breeder Reactor being built by BHAVINI.
After a nearly one-hour long event, he will again fly back to Chennai in a helicopter
and address a public meeting organised by the BJP at the sprawling YMCA grounds
around 1700 hrs ahead of the ensuing Lok Sabha polls.
After the event he will leave for Telangana.
Tight security arrangements were made in view of his visit in the wake of an IED
blast at a cafe in Bengalurur.

Tiruppur and the southern districts of Thoothukudi, Madurai and Tirunelveli
on February 27 and 28.

Chengalpattu district for Mr Modi's visit.
Police are maintaining strict vigil, patrolling has been intensified and all lodges and hotels
in the city are being searched.
Checkposts were set up and all vehicles entering the city are being checked on arterial roads
and junctions.
