In the capital of India, New Delhi, preparations are in full swing for the Group of Twenty (G20) summit, scheduled for September 9 and 10, reports Bloomberg . For the sake of meeting world leaders in the capital, they took unprecedented measures. Among them are restrictions on the work of government agencies and the movement of public transport in the city center, increased patrols and measures aimed at scaring away small monkeys that have chosen the summit area.

During the summit, the authorities decided to virtually isolate the area of ​​the capital where government buildings are located, the agency indicates. Thus, during the summit, schools, banks, most private businesses and all government departments will be closed, and traffic in the area of ​​government buildings will be prohibited. “The restrictions effectively isolate the area where G20 senior guests will be staying primarily in five-star hotels,” the agency explains. The borders of the Delhi metropolitan area with neighboring states will also be closed.

And to scare away thousands of small monkeys that live near government buildings and steal food from pedestrians, life-size figures in the form of monkeys of another, larger species - black-faced langurs - were installed on the sidewalks of the city, reports Bloomberg.

The city was decorated with flowers, overpasses and railway bridges were painted with colorful graffiti, posters with the logos of the summit and images of Prime Minister Narendra Modi were hung on the streets.

To ensure the safety of world leaders, more than 100 thousand police officers and other security services will patrol the city streets. During the summit, special forces units, snipers, sappers, anti-drone units, special units for rapid response to threats of chemical and nuclear weapons, as well as early warning aircraft and fighter jets will be involved in work, Bloomberg’s interlocutors said.
