New Delhi: Delhi Police has put into place elaborate security arrangements for Prime Minister Narendra Modi who returns here on Saturday after a week-long visit to the United States of America.

The security arrangements will be in order in coordination with all agencies. Snipers will be deployed on rooftops," MS Randhawa, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Central Delhi said.
