The PM is coming to Town




The Prime Minister is coming to town today to address the State Legislature. As a result, the newspaper carried a story urging all office workers not to leave work until after 7 pm because of traffic congestion due to road closings. The article lists those closing by the hour. Also, because of security issues, all offices, banks, and the post office at Vidhana Soudha ( this building's name)will be closed. Staff in various departments in the building have been given the day off.

Signs like this one were all over town. Our car was stopped while the traffic cops (in white hats)waited for the official cars to drive through on their way to the airport ot pick up the PM.
