In preparation for the G20 Summit, the Delhi Fire Services (DFS) has strategically positioned over 500 firefighters and a fleet of 40 fire tenders in Lutyens’ Delhi. While ensuring safety, a discreet directive emphasizes maintaining a low profile to preserve the event’s ambiance.

To overcome spatial constraints, the DFS has introduced cutting-edge tools, including miniature robots, telescopic rescue poles, modified sky lifts, water towers, and rescue tripods. These are strategically placed across the Pragati Maidan complex, the summit’s venue, to swiftly respond to emergencies.

The standout innovation is miniature robots, remote-controlled with fire tanks and hoses to navigate and douse fires. Modified sky lifts reach 100 meters, aiding firefighting in tall structures.

Telescopic rescue poles navigate narrow spaces for emergency search and rescue. Rescue tripods handle confined spaces adeptly.

The DFS officer explained their strategy to avoid large crowds. Equipment placement replaces bulky fire tenders and central firefighter assembly. Only three tenders will be at Pragati Maidan.

Firefighters will also be present at prominent hotels and markets for dignitaries. Accommodations have been inspected for safety.

DFS Chief Atul Garg highlighted the placement of 500 firefighters strategically, along with 40 fire tenders operating daily.

A state-of-the-art control room offers seamless venue oversight. Garg emphasized intensive firefighter training and dignitary accommodations’ safety checks.

DFS managed leave to ensure a robust force for the event.

As the G20 Summit nears, the DFS showcases meticulous planning with technological innovation, strategic positioning, and commitment to safety.

Delhi’s Home Minister, Ashish Sood, has made a public appeal to all citizens of Delhi, urging them to assist security agencies in identifying Pakistani nationals who are staying in the city without legal authorization. The appeal comes after the Indian government’s decision to suspend visa services for Pakistani nationals. All existing valid visas issued to Pakistani citizens, except long-term visas (LTVs) and diplomatic and official visas, have been canceled with immediate effect.

The Delhi government has set a deadline between April 26 and 29, 2025, for Pakistani nationals whose visas have been canceled to leave India. Additionally, no new visas will be issued to any Pakistani citizen. This move is part of the broader efforts to address security concerns arising from the illegal presence of Pakistani nationals in Delhi.

Minister Sood emphasized that the safety and security of Delhi residents are a top priority. He urged citizens to be vigilant and report any suspicious Pakistani nationals residing in the city illegally. If any resident comes across someone they suspect is staying in Delhi without proper documentation, they are encouraged to immediately notify the nearest police station.

The Delhi government is fully cooperating with the Indian government’s directives to ensure that all illegal Pakistani nationals are identified and deported in coordination with the Delhi Police and other relevant agencies. This initiative aims to safeguard the city’s security while maintaining a transparent and cooperative approach from its residents.
