Delhi is getting ready to host the G-20 Summit at Pragati Maidan. Many international delegates have already arrived in the city for this important meeting. To make it easier for the Summit to take place, schools, colleges, banks, and other businesses have been asked to temporarily close, which will help reduce traffic. Schools will reopen on Monday.
The Delhi government’s Department of Education has declared September 8 as a holiday for students and staff. They have also asked education department personnel to be prepared in case extra staff is needed during the G20 Summit.
Preparations are underway to host over 40 world leaders at the New Delhi summit. The summit will take place on September 9 and 10 at the newly built Bharat Mandapam in Pragati Maidan, which is a modern conference and exhibition facility.
The Delhi administration has confirmed that all preparations for the G20 Summit are complete. They assure that the city is ready to welcome visitors from around the world. The top 20 economies are expected to send their delegations to India. Some notable attendees include US Vice President Joe Biden, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend in person but will send representatives.
In terms of security, popular locations like Dilli Haat, Chandni Chowk, Khan Market, Connaught Place, and Malcha Marg Market will have increased security measures. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has identified 26 specific routes that will receive special attention during the event.
