Officials in Ahmedabad, which is hosting a welcoming event for President Trump when he arrives in India, has brushed off reports that a wall hastily erected along the road from the airport was put there to obscure the slums.
With New Delhi preparing to roll out the welcome mat for US President Donald Trump and his wife Melania when they touch down in India on February 24, reports have emerged that some local authorities have taken pains to ensure that the US delegation is treated to a picture perfect view as they hit the road in Ahmedabad, the largest city and former capital of the state of Gujarat.
Local media reported that a wall standing as high as six feet lines the road leading from the airport to Indira Bridge. The structure, which is set to be about half a kilometer long, is built around the historic Saraniyavaas slum area, home to 2,500 people.
