Modi8 How India rediscovered itself to take its rightful place in the world

The Delhi Police has imposed several curbs as the Group of 20 (G20) leaders arrive in the city for a summit over the weekend. From traffic restrictions to the closure of schools, many measures have been taken to ensure the safety of high-profile world leaders. United States president Joe Biden is set to reach New Delhi in the evening today (8 September). Several other foreign dignitaries will start arriving a day ahead of the 18th G20 Summit.   As the leaders touchdown in the National Capital, here are all the restrictions that will come into place from today.   Where’s the summit? The Centre is organising the G20 Summit at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan on 9 and 10 September. The foreign dignitaries will also visit Rajghat, the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA) and the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), Pusa during the two-day summit. Parking services near Pragati Maidan will be available only for authorised vehicles during the conclave. Commuters are advised to avoid private vehicles and take alternative modes of transport. What are the traffic restrictions? There will be some restrictions on the traffic movement starting from 7 September night to 11 September. As per the Delhi Traffic Police, general traffic will remain unaffected outside the jurisdiction of the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) area, excluding National Highway 48 (NH-48). As per NDTV, areas such as Dhaula Kuan, Khan Market, Janpath and Bhikaji Cama Place have been declared as “sensitive areas” by the Delhi Police. While no markets will be closed in these regions, they will be subjected to traffic regulations, Surender Yadav, Special CP (Traffic) said in an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Facebook Sunday (3 September), reported the news channel. All kinds of commercial vehicles and buses already in Delhi will be allowed on Ring Road and the road network beyond Ring Road, towards the borders of the National Capital.
