Bhubaneswar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Odisha visit itinerary is likely to be tweaked amid heavy rains forecast for the state.
The PM is scheduled to address a public rally as part of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) Seva Paksha programme at Rangeilunda in Berhampur on September 27.
Sources said that the venue of his scheduled programme could be shifted. The Prime Minister may attend an event at Amulipali ground in Jharsuguda instead. However, there has been no official confirmation from either the BJP or government authorities about the final decision.

These include:
– Capacity expansion of eight Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) across the country.
