The Delhi Police had asked MakeMyTrip on Monday to retract an e-mail claiming that the national capital was "shut" during the summit. The Police also informed people that the movement will be restricted only in the New Delhi district.

"The email sent out by @makemytripcare falsely claims that Delhi is closed from September 08th to 10th, 2023. In the wake of the #G20Summit, there will be restrictions in the New Delhi district. We request @makemytrip to retract their email and issue a clarification," it had said.

The 18th G20 Summit will be held in the national capital on September 9 and 10. This will be a culmination of all the G20 processes and meetings held throughout the year among ministers, senior officials, and civil societies. During the summit on September 9 and 10, establishments in the New Delhi area, including Bharat Mandapam in Pragati Maidan, will remain closed for the public.

Dhaula Kuan, Khan Market, Janpath, and Bhikaji Cama Place have been designated as "sensitive areas," but no markets will be shut; movement will be regulated instead. Moreover, Cloud kitchens and delivery services won't be allowed in the New Delhi area during the summit. However, essential services like grocery stores, ATMs, and medical stores will remain open in the regulated zone.
