On Tuesday, the Delhi Police said the whole city will remain open during the G20 Summit, barring a part of the area under the NDMC.

"Whole Delhi is open. Just a small part of NDMC will have restrictions... It is once again reiterated that restrictions are only imposed in a small portion of NDMC area. Don't believe in rumours," the Delhi Police said.

"It is once again reiterated that although commercial activities remain banned on 8 to 10 September, but all essential services such as Mother Dairy/Safal booths, medical shops, hospitals etc will remain functional in New Delhi area," it said in a separate tweet.
