Prime Minister Narendra Modi's security was breached by a young boy during his road show at Hubballi in Karnataka on Thursday. The boy, who jumped onto the road and ran towards the prime minister with a garland, was whisked away by the security personnel.
“All people in the enclosure, from where that boy came, were properly frisked by SPG and the whole area was properly sanitised by security agencies. It is not a serious lapse,” reported ANI.

The officials later got hold of the garland from the boy and handed it over to the prime minister.
Modi held the road show just before the inauguration of the 26th National Youth Festival in the city. The prime minister received a warm welcome as people were seen thronging the roads and showering flowers on his cavalcade.
The National Youth Festival is held every year on January 12—on the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda—to provide exposure to our talented youth at the national level, along with galvanising them towards nation building. According to the Prime Minister's Office, this year's theme is “Viksit Yuva - Viksit Bharat”.
