Narendra Modi to break protocol to receive Obama from New Delhi Airport

  • 5 years ago
the US president is doing it in India for the second time—after shutting down India’s financial capital, Mumbai, during his first visit in 2010—as he arrives in New Delhi next week.

The first serving US president to come to India twice, Obama will fly into New Delhi’s international airport in the early hours of Jan. 25. After breakfast, he will head to Rashtrapati Bhavan, the Indian president’s residence atop Raisina Hill in central Delhi, for some pomp and ceremony before a trip to Mahatma Gandhi’s memorial. Next on the agenda for Sunday is a meeting with prime minister Narendra Modi and a state dinner in the evening to wrap things up.

For all that, the heart of India’s capital city—bordering the central business district—is likely to be paralysed. An estimated 50,000 security personnel, 15,000 CCTV cameras, a team of secret service agents, 40 dogs, airborne radars and other security paraphernalia will be deployed.
