What the Government has done for the creation and beautification of Delhi and Bharat Mandapam is nothing less than crazy.

All kudos to the Indian Government for this magnificent arrangement for the G20 Summit.

The government has made a lot of preparations, and a lot of money will be spent once the main event starts.

The G20 Summit will held at the Bharat Mandapam, situated at the International Exhibition-cum-Convention Centre (IECC) complex, Pragati Maidan, in the National Capital.

A total of Rs 2,700 crore has been spent on the construction and beautification of the venue.

The new venue is one of the best infrastructure the country has witnessed. And the government has spent as much as Rs 4,064 crore for the beautification of the city for the G20 Summit.

As many as 125 fountains and 70 large statues have been installed in various parts of the city.

The expenditure also includes money spent to bring 1 lakh flower plants from eight countries. Just for Delhi, 2,000 trees and 43 lakh plants have also been brought from across the world.

While the New Delhi Municipal Corporation spent Rs 60 crore, Public Works Department spent Rs 45 crore, and the Delhi Development Authority spent Rs 18 crore for the beautification of New Delhi.

The government also spent a huge amount of Rs 22 crore to give international look to the road from Indira Gandhi International Airport to Pragati Maidan.

World leaders attending the G20 summit in New Delhi will stay in 25 top class hotels of the city. The Chanakya Suite at ITC Maurya, where Biden is staying, will be the costliest of all as it will cost Rs 8 lakh in total.

There is also l 3-layer security system for the G20 summit. Though there is no estimate available for money that will be spent on security, it will presumably come at a high cost.

Hope this Summit be as successful and fruitful for India, the way Indian Government both state and centre, and officials who have worked hard day and night for the success of this event.
