Delhi LG visits Bharat Mandapam, Rajghat to inspect preparations

Ahead of the G20 Summit, Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena went on a final round of inspections of Rajghat, Pragati Maidan, and other places on Thursday to take stock of preparations for the mega event.
Delhi is all decked up and set to welcome the dignitaries and delegates for the G20 Summit, Saxena said during the inspection.
The summit will be held from September 9 to 10 at the newly built international convention and exhibition centre, Bharat Mandapam, at Pragati Maidan.
While inspecting Rajghat, the lieutenant governor (LG) directed that cleanliness and proper arrangements should be ensured, according to officials. He was accompanied by Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar and other senior officers.
During the two days of the summit, a number of dignitaries will be visiting Rajghat to pay homage to Mahatma Gandhi at his memorial.
The LG also inspected the summit’s venue, Bharat Mandapam, to ensure everything was in order, officials said.
The LG, accompanied by senior officers, took a mini bus around the city, inspecting summit-related preparations. He also inspected the control rooms of the Delhi Police and the Disaster Management Cell of the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), they said.
Last week, the LG said that all preparations for the summit had been completed and final touches were being given.
