Modi govt alerts states, CAPF on VVIP security, cites Trump's near-fatal shooting: Report

Former US president and White House frontrunner Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania earlier this month. The central government has reportedly issued a directive to Director Generals of states, union territories, and paramilitary forces to enhance security measures for "high-risk dignitaries" in the wake of the recent assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump. The directive stressed the need for increased vigilance and protection, particularly during public events such as rallies, corner meetings, and roadshows, reported The Indian Express.
