The New Delhi Municipal Council has placed its entire system on round‑the‑clock monitoring ahead of the BRICS summit, with thousands of flower pots set to adorn the city and the zoo temporarily closed.
New Delhi’s municipal authority, the NDMC, has switched to a 24‑hour monitoring mode as the city prepares to host the upcoming BRICS summit. The round‑the‑clock surveillance covers security, traffic management and public utilities to ensure smooth functioning during the high‑profile event.
As part of the beautification drive, around 15,000 flower pots will be placed across key locations in the capital, creating a festive ambience for visiting dignitaries and residents alike.
To facilitate security arrangements, the city’s zoo will remain closed for the duration of the summit, minimizing crowd movement in the vicinity of the venue.
Officials said the comprehensive monitoring will involve coordination among police, fire services and municipal staff, aiming for a disruption‑free summit period.
