Ever since US President Donald Trump¡¯s visit to India has been confirmed, several controversies have erupted. First, authorities in Ahmedabad built a wall to hide slums and poverty during Trump¡¯s roadshow in the city. Secondly, many slum-dwellers were served eviction notice in the city of Gujarat and in Agra, authorities released water into ¡°ecologically dead¡± Yamuna to make it appear clean when Trump visits Taj Mahal with the First Lady Melania Trump.
Now, to prevent a monkey attack on the US President, five langurs have been added to his security team for langurs keep monkeys at bay.
Despite heavy security arrangement, it seemed difficult to prevent a monkey attack, a menace in the city of Agra. The security agencies are worried about monkeys who create misery. To tackle it, the security agencies have deployed five langurs (long-tailed monkeys) on the route of Trump's convoy.
The US President and his wife Melania Trump are scheduled to visit Taj Mahal on February 24.
Heavy security arrangements have been made. According to sources, the internal security of Trump and his family is being handled by the American Secret Services, 10 companies of paramilitary forces, 10 companies of PAC and NSG commandos have been deployed for the external security.
The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) have for the first time given mud-cap treatment to the graves of Emperor Shahjahan and Empress Mumtaz Mahal.
Also, for Trump's visit to India, the government is all set to spend around ?80 crore-85 crore ($11-12 million) on preparations for the visit by the American president that is likely to last around three hours, reported Reuters.
On Tuesday, Trump said he wanted "a very big trade deal with India. I don't know if it will be done before the election. We're not treated very well by India, but I happen to like Prime Minister Modi a lot."
Despite this, the Modi government is leaving no stone unturned to make the two-day event a grand affair. And leading the charge is Gujarat, the home state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
