In anticipation of the India-Africa Forum Summit and the International Big Cat Alliance Summit, Delhi has initiated a comprehensive beautification and infrastructure upgrade project. This effort focuses on enhancing eight key road corridors, 12 heritage sites, and 13 hotels to provide a welcoming environment for international delegates. The beautification works include road repairs, landscaping, and traffic management, with a completion deadline set for May 15. The India-Africa Forum Summit is scheduled from May 28-31, while the International Big Cat Alliance Summit will take place from June 1-2. Urban development minister Ashish Sood highlighted the importance of ensuring optimal civic amenities and effective traffic planning to avoid congestion. Key corridors such as the airport stretch from NH-8 to Dhaula Kuan and Mathura Road are among those receiving special attention. Additionally, the Delhi Traffic Police will implement detailed traffic management plans to minimize disruptions. The beautification efforts also encompass the installation of decorative lighting and the removal of stray animals to enhance the overall aesthetic of the city. The Archaeological Survey of India will coordinate with civic agencies to beautify areas surrounding notable monuments that delegates are expected to visit, ensuring standards exceed those of previous summits.
