Delhi all set to receive Olympic torch

NEW DELHI, JUNE 9. With less than 24 hours to go for its arrival from Beijing, the national capital is gearing up to receive the Olympic flame.

Elaborate security arrangements are being planned by the city police for the Olympic torch run in Delhi on June 10. The torch will be brought by two Boeing 737 aircraft. Armed commandos, along with hundreds of police personnel, will man the 33-km-long route of the flame in the city.

Indian authorities are planning a mega event to showcase the country's cultural heritage and its commitment to the Olympics. India will host the Commonwealth Games in 2010, and has also bid for the 2016 Olympics. — ANI
