New Delhi [India], September 6 (ANI): The ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday announced that its headquarters in the national capital will remain closed to the public from September 8 to 10 in view of the upcoming G20 summit.
"Due to G-20 Summit 2023 at New Delhi, Our office will remain closed to the public from 8th Sept to 10th Sept 2023," read an official release by the AAP.
Earlier, on Wednesday, Delhi Minister Atishi announced that all schools, colleges and offices will remain closed from September 8-10 in view of the big-ticket summit that will draw heads of state, delegates and representatives of international organisations to the national capital.
The AAP leader also said Delhi was all decked up to welcome the delegates.
Adressing a press conference along with Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj on Wednesday, Atishi said, "In view of the G20 summit, all schools, colleges and offices will remain closed across Delhi from September 8 to 10."
