This is not the first time such removals have taken place ahead of a major international event in the capital.

India is hosting the AI Summit 2026 in its capital, New Delhi, bringing global attention. In preparation for the high-profile event, authorities have launched a citywide beautification drive aimed at presenting Delhi as a modern, world-class host.
As part of these efforts, officials have 'cleared' homeless people from streets and public spaces. This is not the first time such removals have taken place ahead of a major international event in the capital.
