An outer diversion route has also been planned for vehicles which have to pass through Agra to cross over to other cities. This will decrease the burden on traffic in the city.

As many as 10 paramilitary companies and 5,000 security personnel have been deployed. Around 30 CCTV cameras have been placed at 18 locations on the scheduled route of Trump from Kheria airport to the Taj Mahal.

Trump will arrive in India on Monday for the two-day visit at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
