CM Yogi Adityanath & Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma to Visit Basti Today
A high-level security apparatus has been deployed across Uttar Pradesh's Basti district as Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath arrives today, Sunday, October 18, 2026, to attend a formal condolence meet in Teliyajot village. The visit follows the passing of the mother of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National General Secretary Harish Dwivedi. With official confirmation confirming that Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma will also attend the ceremony, district administrative authorities, local police, and state intelligence wings have enforced strict VVIP security protocols across key transit corridors linking Basti with neighboring districts.
Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma's Travel Itinerary via Ayodhya Airport
The arrival of two state chief ministers has prompted coordinated inter-district security arrangements:
Transit Route from Ayodhya: Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma will fly in directly from Guwahati to Maharishi Valmiki International Airport in Ayodhya, from where his motorcade will travel via road under tight police escort to Teliyajot village.
Administrative and Intelligence Vigil: District magistrate officials, senior superintendents of police, and regional intelligence units have established a joint command center to oversee movements and avoid security lapses.
Dignitaries in Attendance: Top regional party functionaries, legislators, and senior administrative representatives will assemble alongside the Chief Ministers to pay their final respects and console Harish Dwivedi and his family.
Helipad Infrastructure Built Near Kudi Village Under PWD Supervision
To facilitate the direct aerial arrival of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, local infrastructure was set up on priority:
Swift Helipad Construction: Engineers from the Public Works Department (PWD) and local block officers worked late into Saturday evening to finish laying the temporary landing pad located right outside Kudi village, adjacent to Teliyajot.
Perimeter Sanitization: Armed security forces, quick response teams (QRT), and bomb disposal squads have sanitized the helipad surroundings and cordoned off the designated landing zone.
Direct Access Route: A secured corridor has been cleared between the landing field and Harish Dwivedi’s ancestral residence to ensure rapid, seamless movement for the official convoys.
Nagar Police Station Deployment and Traffic Diversions Across Basti
To prevent public inconvenience during high-profile convoy movements, local authorities have put structured traffic diversions into effect:
Comprehensive Police Cordons: Security personnel have been stationed at every intersection leading into Teliyajot village, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Nagar police station.
Dynamic Route Diversions: The Basti traffic police have enacted alternative diversions along connecting highways and major village arteries, redirecting heavy commercial vehicles away from the VVIP route.
Public Commute Protection: Dedicated traffic marshals will oversee diversion nodes to ensure regular commuters and local residents do not face long gridlocks while protocol arrangements remain active throughout Sunday.
