7 Lakh Plants To Langur Cutouts: How Delhi Is Prepping For G20 Summit

Shopkeepers and food stall owners in Chandni Chowk are also hiring translators to make the buying process easy for visitors.

In their quest to make the mega G20 Summit an unqualified success, authorities and people in Delhi are taking a series of usual and rather unusual steps. From decking up the national capital with nearly 7 lakh ornamental plants to hiring people who can make langur noises to scare away monkeys, no stone is being left unturned.

Expecting a visit by foreign delegates and the people accompanying them, shopkeepers and food stall owners in Chandni Chowk are also hiring translators. Some are asking their children, who know English, to be in the shop with them for a few days from September 8 so that the language barrier does not prove to be a barrier to business. The summit will be held on September 9 and 10.
