Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled for a high-profile, one-day visit to Odisha on March 7, 2026. The visit underscores the Center's commitment to internal security and administrative modernization.
Shah will lead two major government engagements during his stay:
CRPF Raising Day: The Home Minister will attend the ceremonial celebrations at the CRPF campus in Mundali, Cuttack, honoring the force’s service.
Security & Law Review: A critical meeting is expected to assess the progress of anti-Naxal operations, as the government eyes a 2026 deadline for eradicating Left-Wing Extremism.
Additionally, Shah will review the implementation of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which has replaced the colonial-era Indian Penal Code. This visit is seen as a strategic push to align Odisha’s law enforcement with national security goals and ensure the seamless rollout of the new criminal justice framework.
