New Delhi/Mayurbhanj: A day after she was named as the BJP-led NDA’s Presidential nominee, the Centre on Wednesday accorded Z+ security cover to Draupadi Murmu.
CRPF commandos took over the 64-year-old Murmu’s security on Wednesday morning.
Soon after her name was announced on Tuesday, the Union Home Ministry directed the CRPF to deploy its VIP security protection team for Murmu.
Security has also been stepped up at her residence in Rairangpur in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district.
Earlier on Wednesday morning, Murmu, Odisha’s tribal leader and former Jharkhand Governor, offered prayers and swept temples in Rairangpur. She will leave for Delhi later in the day.
