Delhi's sky-to-ground, unprecedented security of 25,000 police around the BRICS summit!

BS News Agency: The capital has practically turned into an army camp centered around the historic BRICS summit (BRICS Summit 2026) being held in New Delhi. An unprecedented security ring has been arranged from sky to ground to protect foreign heads of state and VVIP guests. Commandos and snipers will be on guard at Bharat Mandapam, the main center of the summit. More than 25,000 police personnel have been deployed for the security of the entire Delhi. Along with them, there are more than 100 NSG commandos and more than 1,000 Delhi Police special SWAT teams. Snipers will be deployed on the roofs of every high-rise building in Delhi. About 30 top police officers and Deputy Commissioners (DCPs) are leading the entire surveillance system.

 Strict ban on drone use in the airspace. Maximum surveillance will be maintained along the entire route of foreign guests, from the airport to hotels and conference venues.                                             No-fly zone: Flying drones or any unauthorized flying objects in the security area is completely prohibited.
Airspace security: Modern anti-drone systems and anti-aircraft guns have been kept active to deal with any airspace threat.
Real-time monitoring: The emergency response team is keeping an eye on the situation every moment through CCTV cameras and command rooms.
Traffic control on 35 important roads For the smooth movement of VVIP convoys, traffic has been restricted on more than 35 important roads in Delhi and 22 diversion points have been set up. About 5,000 traffic police personnel will be on the ground to manage traffic. The entire traffic system will be managed through GPS tracking and technical monitoring. Major roads likely to be affected: Sardar Patel Marg, Akbar Road, Janpath, Barakhamba Road, Ashoka Road, Teen Murti Marg, Mother Teresa Crescent, Mathura Road, Tolstoy Marg and APJ Abdul Kalam Road, along with several adjoining roads.

How closed is Delhi for the general public? Delhi Police has made it clear that despite the tight security, the entire city is not coming to a standstill. There will be temporary closures on certain roads during the VVIP movement, while traffic will remain normal on the rest. Most reassuringly, Delhi Metro services will generally be operational without any disruption.
