Before world leaders started pouring into the Rajghat Memorial complex, security in and around Delhi was stepped up. DDU Marg, Shanti Van, and the Mahatma Gandhi Road are some of the areas that witnessed heightened security.

Delhi Traffic Police implemented a Controlled Zone 2, prohibiting the operation of buses on Ring Road between ISBT Kashmiri Gate and Sarai Kale Khan. Buses were not operating on the remaining stretch of Ring Road and the road network beyond Ring Road towards the borders of Delhi.

Prior to his visit to Rajghat and the continuation of the G20 Summit, UK PM Rishi Sunak visited Delhi's Akshardham temple where he did pooja and aarti.

The scheduled visit to Rajghat was uncertain as of earlier this morning after the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted light to moderate rains in Delhi. The IMD warned of waterlogging, damage to plants and partial damage to vulnerable structures, and advised people to avoid those structures and take safe shelters. Delhi residents and visitors were also advised to avoid travelling if possible.
