Delhi Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu has directed all stakeholder agencies to ensure smooth traffic, security management, civic upkeep, and emergency medical readiness for the BRICS Summit scheduled in September 2026. The directions cover key venues and movement corridors across the city.
In a post on X, Sandhu said Delhi was fully prepared to host visiting delegates in an orderly and secure manner, guided by the ethos of Atithi Devo Bhava. He reviewed preparations in a meeting with senior officers and stressed seamless coordination among multiple agencies, with work to be completed within set timelines.
BRICS originally formed in 2006 with Brazil, Russia, India, and China, later expanding to include South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Indonesia. Several other nations joined as partner countries in 2025. The Delhi administration has focused on traffic, security, civic arrangements, and medical preparedness for the expanded grouping.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Hosting the BRICS summit gives India a chance to showcase Delhi's infrastructure and diplomatic heft, especially after the grouping's recent expansion added major energy and regional players. The L-G's emphasis on inter-agency coordination signals past bottlenecks in Delhi's event management. With the summit four weeks away, the key test will be whether civic agencies can sustain road repairs, street lighting, and cleanliness across the city's 1,500 km of movement corridors. A dry run of security and medical protocols is expected in the first week of September.
