“Delhi is high on the list of sensitive areas for a terrorist attack. At such a gala event the chances are even higher. Hence, we decided not to compromise with security aspects this time around and even if it causes a little inconvenience while manually checking all hand baggage, it was deemed important to do so,” the official said. Besides this, two cameras have been put at each of the hangars.

The list of firsts does not end here. SIAM, ACMA and CII are using this Expo to highlight issues like road safety and safe driving techniques as well. Over the last four days, 250 truck drivers and 150 three-wheeler drivers have been given road safety training.

With a record number of visitors having already visited the Expo and Sunday — despite being the busiest day — passing off without an untoward incident, one can only say that the stampede managers have done their work well.
