Mamata will call on the Prime Minister at Raj Bhavan where PM Modi will be staying overnight. Huge security has been put in place in view of protests threatened by numerous outfits and groups against PM Modi's arrival in the state.

Stringent security is being put in place for the Prime Minister's tour, amid security forces' apprehensions that a couple of organization could try to organize large-scale protests including black flag demonstrations at the NSCBI Airport and on the streets. Also, it has now been decided that the Prime Minister would go to Belur Math-global headquarters of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission- on a launch over the river Ganga.

However, there could be last-minute change in the Prime Minister's schedule in view of intensifying protests in the city and the rest of Bengal on the issue of Citizenship (Amendment) Act and the violence in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU).
