A massive security cover will be thrown around the city with deployment of over 10,000 policemen as the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES), being attended by US President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, begins on Tuesday.

Telangana Director General of Police M. Mahender Reddy told reporters on Saturday that all security arrangements have been made for the peaceful and smooth conduct of three-day event, which will be attended by 1,500 delegates from India, the US and other countries.

He said Ivanka will arrive at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport at Shamshabad in the early hours of November 28 and will leave in the evening of November 29.

Modi will arrive at Begumpet Airport in the afternoon of Tuesday and will reach Miyapur in a helicopter. After inaugurating Hyderabad Metro project and riding in the train to Kukatpally and back to Miyapur, he will leave for Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC), in a chopper.

The police chief said after attending GES inaugural session, Modi, Ivanka and other delegates reach Taj Falaknuma, a palace hotel in the old city, to attend the dinner hosted by the Indian Government.

After the dinner, Modi will depart from the airport at Shamshabad.

The force which will be deployed by Telangana police include personnel from anti-terrorist unit OCTOPUS, and anti-Maoist force Greyhounds.

The police chief said 50 dog squads and 40 teams for anti-sabotage checks will be pressed into service.

Anti-sabotage checks, access control, road openings, CCTV surveillance system, security vetting of individuals and quick reaction teams will form part of security arrangements

Reddy said the security arrangements were made in close coordination with US security agencies and Special Protection Group (SPG) and as per the security and protocol guidelines of the Indian Government for foreign dignitaries.

A command and control centre has been opened at DGP’s office to monitor security arrangements while a control room will work at HICC. The Police Commissioners of Hyderabad and Cyberabad will be incharge of security in their respective jurisdictions.

Besides the airports, helipads, HICC, Falaknuma, Miyapur and Kukatpally Metro stations, tight security will also be in place at 21 hotels where the delegates will be staying and also at Golconda Fort, where the Telangana government is hosting a dinner for delegates on November 29.

Eleven senior officers have been made incharge of security at the venues, hotels, airports and other places.

The DGP denied reports that Telangana policemen were asked not to be in their uniforms. “They will wear uniforms wherever required,” he said

Those who are planning to visit Hyderabad from the US, Canada or nearby Gulf countries in the next few days are hereby warned, expect the unexpected when you land here.

As the clock is ticking for the mother of all summit conferences as as far as Telangana is concerned, it is turning both the state government and Hyderabadis crazy.

First, of course, the traffic that has already gone out of control with road blocks, traffic curbs and detours. Though people have hailed the sprucing up of certain sections of Hyderabad, for the November 28-30 Global Entrepreneurship Summit, hours of sitting behind the wheel on roads is enraging commuters.

Adding to this chaos, is an expected one lakh marriages (yes, 100,000) in a matter of one week beginning now. With thousands of friends and relatives from within the Telugu states and abroad descending on the city by every available flight, train, bus and personal transport, Hyderabad is now choc a bloc 24X7.

Second, security. With several rings of security — state, Central and American – residents living near and around areas Ivanka to visit/stay have been told not to entertain strangers or guests in view of high threat perceptions to VVIP.

Not minding the inconvenience being caused to the people, the KCR government has finalized arrangements for royal treatment to Ivanka Trump, daughter of US President Donald Trump and his special adviser.

Though the Nizam era is gone, Ivanka is going to get such royal treatment in a democratic state. She will be treated to a state banquet at the famous Faluknama Palace where she will sit next to Prime Minister Narendra Modi who will inaugurate the Metro (officially confirmed) on November 28. On the same day, he will address the Entrepreneur Summit along with Ivanka.

Then, the gifts to be presented to Ivanka too are befitting royalty. If press reports are to be believed, the gift hamper contains a cut diamond necklace, strands of Hyderabadi pearls, hand woven silk sarees from Gadwal and Sircilla, all packed in a special box.

And, finally, after sending street beggars to prisons or rehabilitation homes, it is the turn of stray dogs. Hundreds of them are being rounded up!
