Meanwhile, in view of the attack on BJP national president JP Nadda’s convoy last week, CRPF officials have reportedly wrote a letter to state DGP Virendra, asking him to ensure a foolproof security arrangement for Shah. Sources said the CRPF has asked the state police chief to ensure adequate security arrangements in routes which will be taken by the Union Home Minister.
