Delhi's BRICS Summit Preparations Highlight Temporary Urban Changes and Resident Concerns
Ahead of the 18th BRICS Summit in Delhi, the city experienced notable changes including quieter airports, cleared market areas like Connaught Place, and curated welcome kits highlighting regional products. While many praised these improvements, locals questioned why such conditions are temporary. Additionally, screens were installed around slum areas like Vasant Vihar's Coolie Camp to obscure views from visiting delegations, sparking debate over visibility and the impact of summit-related restrictions on residents' daily lives and livelihoods.
