Months of preparation, excitement and security arrangements are all set to pay off as India gets ready to host the mega G20 Summit in the national capital this weekend. World leaders have also begun arriving.
Delhi has been decked up to host the heads of state and foreign delegates for the G20 summit. Civic agencies have readied 66 arterial roads and stretches across the city ahead of the big event.
The beautification drive includes the installation of designer fountains, sculptures and flower pots along the roads. Besides, footpaths are being refurbished and walls painted.
Delhi airport also has dedicated gates and a dedicated corridor to ensure seamless immigration clearance for G20 delegates. Additionally, a team of senior officials will monitor arrival and departure operations related to the summit.
Here's a glimpse of the project to prepare the national capital for the big event:
