G20 Delhi Preparation

The ruling Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi on Monday said the MCD has prepared a nine-point agenda to ensure that the cleanliness campaign continues in the city even after the G20 Summit.

The NDMC on Monday said it is contemplating to deploy security guards to prevent vandalisation or theft of assets like fountains and sculptures installed ahead of the G20 Summit.

As Delhi is all geared up for the 18th Heads of State and Government Summit of the G20 (Group of 20) being held on September 9 and 10, the government is leaving no stone unturned in the preparations for welcoming the high-profile delegates.

After some social media users pointed to a procession taken out by a community and hinted at "preparation" for something ahead of the G20 Summit, the Delhi Police has debunked the posts as false news and warned against spreading such rumours.

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.

Special forces, bulletproof cars and men hired to chase away monkeys are among India's elaborate G20 preparations as Prime Minister Narendra Modi readies for a weekend in the global spotlight.

Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi on Monday claimed the AAP government did nothing for Delhi's development in its nine-year rule and it was the Centre that bore almost all the expenses for G20 Summit preparations in the city.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday slammed Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena's remarks that preparations for the G20 summit would have been easier if the city government had worked for nine years.

Delhi PWD minister Atishi Saturday dismissed Lt Governor VK Saxena's allegation that AAP ministers attended just one G20 preparatory meet, and said "had he involved us in preparations, we would have done better".

Bulletproof glass in rooms, live piano music and a dash of millets in the menu - preparations are underway in full swing at a hotel in New Delhi where the Canadian and Japanese PMs will stay along with their contingents for the G20 Summit.

In their quest to make the mega G20 Summit an unqualified success, authorities and people in Delhi are taking a series of usual and rather unusual steps.

The Delhi Police on Friday said they are coordinating with security agencies and are fully prepared for the upcoming G20 summit which is going to be held next month.

Gyan Path in front of the Red Fort in central Delhi will be decked up with flowers and G20 signage and more than 10,000 security personnel will be deployed for the Independence Day celebrations.

Authorities have begun a special anti-encroachment near various metro stations here as the national capital prepares to host the G20 summit in September.

It is estimated that more than Rs 1,000 crore will be spent by various Delhi government agencies on the preparations for the G20 summit and related events to be held in the city in the coming months, officials said on Monday.
