Delhi Tightens Security Ahead of Xi Jinping's BRICS Summit Arrival
Delhi has stepped up security for Chinese President Xi Jinping's arrival at the BRICS summit, with fortified hotels and motorcade arrangements after Vladimir Putin landed.
Security arrangements in the national capital have been intensified ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping's arrival for the BRICS summit, following the landing of Russian President Vladimir Putin in Delhi.
Authorities have put in place fortified hotels, multi-layered security cover, route rehearsals and traffic restrictions to facilitate the movement of the visiting leaders and their motorcades.
The measures reflect the scale of the diplomatic gathering, with multiple heads of state expected in the city for the summit. Movement along key corridors is being regulated, and accommodation venues for the delegations have been brought under enhanced protection.
Traffic curbs are among the steps taken to ensure smooth passage for the leaders' convoys, while rehearsals of the routes have been carried out in advance. The arrangements cover both the summit venues and the hotels where the visiting dignitaries will stay.
With Putin already in the capital, the security apparatus has been further tightened for Xi's scheduled arrival, underscoring the logistical and protective requirements of hosting the high-level meeting.
