The financial capital New Delhi is due to shut down on account of Obama's three-day visit as an estimated 50,000 security personnel, 15,000 CCTV cameras, a team of secret service agents, 40 dogs, airborne radars and other security measures will be deployed.
Flying into New Delhi's International Airport, the president will go to the Indian president's residence for a ceremony before heading to Mahatma Gandhi's memorial, followed by a state dinner in the evening.

More personnel will be deployed on January 26 - India's Republic Day- which is the forefront of the president's visit. A seven-layered security blanket will be provided for the US president. Such protection was not ever granted to China's Xi Jingpin or Russia's Vladimir Putin.
A no-fly zone has also been agreed by the Indian government which will shut down flight operations to adjoining cities such as Jaipur, Agra, Lucknow and Amritsar during a two-hour parade in celebration of India's Republic Day.
During the parade, the US president is set to be seated outdoor for 100 minutes which has caused the Indian government to take such strict measures for his arrival.
India's Airborne Warning and Control System will be monitoring any air movements in the region and will be able to detect incoming missiles from 400 kilometres away.

Some 45,000 CCTV cameras have been installed across the city.
“Because of a foreign president, you do it, but not for Indian citizens. If we direct you to do it for Indians, you do it in months and years, else you do it in weeks,” the court reportedly said.
The Taj Mahal will be out of bounds for citizens on January 27 while Obama visits the monument.
Further, a number of roads leading up to Rajpath will be closed to the public.
