Ahmedabad, which will host a massive rally in honour of US President Donald Trump, wore a festive look with just hours to go before the Air Force One aircraft touches down at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in the city.
An unprecedented security blanket has been thrown over the city for Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, who left Washington on Sunday en route to Ahmedabad to start their India trip. The Trumps will spend three-and-a-half hours in the heritage city, divided between photo-ops at Sabarmati Ashram and the Namaste Trump event at Motera stadium.
“I haven’t seen such a bandobast here even when Chinese President Xi Jinping came in 2014 or when Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited after the 2019 general elections,” said 36-year-old Amit Kumar Joshi, an Ola driver.
