The Delhi High Court, in a rather frank manner, rebuked the Government for putting up 15,000 CCTVs in place for the Obama visit, but not acting with the same urgency as a matter of daily function. Hearing a petition filed seeking that the cameras being put up for US President should not be removed in a hurry after the visit, the court further commented that the speed at which the government functions, it will probably be years before the cameras are actually taken down. Keeping up with our Atithi Devo Bhava sentiment, the government is doing everything short of moving mountains to impress Barack Obama with a secure, clean and modern Delhi and no stone is being left unturned in this pursuit. The way we see it, this visit may indeed be more important to the average Delhiite than previously thought. Here we have made a list of 6 problems that very person who has lived or has visited Delhi would identify with. And how the visit from a US President will fix everything!

5. Electricity and power

A major headache for many parts of Delhi. But just for the visit, we might even increase our consumption of alternative fuels like biogas and solar power, just to tell Mr.Obama we are doing so.

And voila! No more waking up in the middle of the night to check your inverter batteries.

6. Urban development

Slums to be relocated, stray cattle to be herded off the roads, construction works delayed for decades to be finished in a month are only some of the amazing things that the municipal corporations plan to do.

Beautification of iconic locations, planting of trees...phew! Obama will be dazzled.
