PANAJI: President Ram Nath Kovind arrived in Goa on Sunday to present the President’s Colour to Naval Aviation.
The President will attend the presentation of the President’s Colour to Naval Aviation coinciding with the diamond jubilee celebration of INS Hansa on Monday at INS Hansa, Vasco. He will leave the state on Tuesday.
Governor P S Sreedharan Pillai and chief minister Pramod Sawant welcomed Kovind on his arrival at Dabolim Airport. At Raj Bhavan, he was received by Pillai and wife Rita Pillai.
The superintendent of police (traffic) said that during the president’s three-day visit, traffic would be restricted at various points well in advance keeping security in mind, and also, diversions will be organised to facilitate the smooth passage of the VVIP motorcade.
