The prime minister had on June 17 appealed to the people not to give him bouquet as a greeting.

"I appeal to people to give a book instead of bouquet as a greeting. Such a move can make a big difference," Modi had tweeted.

On the first day of his visit, he attended a number of programmes in the city.
