The arrival of heads of governments and foreign dignitaries for the G-20 summit being held in New Delhi spurred Prime Minister Narendra Modi to spell out a strict set of “do’s and don’ts” to be observed by his colleagues in the Council of Ministers. On top of the list was a directive that the Ministers use the G-20 shuttle service to reach the summit venue of Bharat Mandapam rather than their official vehicles.
At a meeting of the Council of Ministers on Wednesday, in the presence of Mr. Modi, Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra made a presentation on protocol and other issues related to the G-20 Summit and the scale at which things were being organised. It was at this meeting that the Prime Minister asked his Ministerial colleagues to ensure that visiting dignitaries were not put to any inconvenience while in New Delhi for the meet to be held on September 9 and 10.
