AS INDIA IS gearing up to host the G20 summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday urged Delhi residents to help make the high-profile event a success despite the inconvenience they might face. The summit, which is being held in the national capital on September 9 and 10, will be attended by several world leaders, including US President Joe Biden, Chinese President Xi Jinping and French President Emmanuel Macron, among others. The leaders and officials will start arriving on September 8.
"The entire country is the host of the G20 summit, but guests are coming to Delhi. The residents of Delhi have a special responsibility to make the G20 summit a success. They have to ensure that the reputation of the nation is not affected one bit," Modi said upon his return from a two-nation visit. Acknowledging the restrictions will cause disruption for Delhiites, the PM said, "From September 5 to September 15, there will be a lot of inconvenience, and I apologise for that in advance. These are our guests, traffic rules will be changed, you will be stopped from going to several places but some things are necessary." In light of the summit, which will take place at the newly-built Bharat Mandapam convention centre in Pragati Maidan, restrictions will be placed in the New Delhi district or the Lutyens' Zone, as per reports.
