A thick security blanket involving hundreds of policemen besides snipers and commandos would be put in place for the visit of Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari's visit to the famous Sufi shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer. He is likely to be gifted a set of books and a sword as per tradition. Two hours prior to the visit the shrine would be cleared of devotees.

Zardari is expected to be inside the dargah for about half an hour. He will meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi over lunch on April 8 before making a private visit to the famous shrine.
