The US will shell out a massive amount of $200 million a day when President Barack Obama comes on a visit to the Indian city Mumbai. A representative from the Maharashtra government has said in a statement that the whopping amount will cover costs related to his security staff, his place of boarding and also the travels that the President will have to make after he sets foot in India. Barack Obama will not only be accompanied with his wife Michelle Obama during his visit but also by several security staff, his personal staff from the White House and American journalists.
Reports claim that though the US President will bring his own security staff, the military staff of Maharashtra is also being trained to look into security issues of Barack Obama and it is for this reason that the officials other than the security staff will not be allowed to carry weapons after their arrival in Mumbai.
The Mumbai roads and coastline will reportedly record less traffic once Barack Obama reaches Mumbai. Police officials in Maharashtra are already being assigned their respective duties as the day is fast approaching. The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel is also ready to welcome the US President.
