In preparation for the G20 Summit scheduled for September 9-10 in New Delhi, several metro stations in the city will remain closed from September 8 to 10. This decision aims to bolster security measures during the high-profile event.
The Deputy Commissioner of Police for Delhi Metro has identified 39 metro stations for enhanced security measures. While some entry and exit gates at these stations will be closed, passengers will still have access to select gates. This strategic move is in response to the need for heightened security, particularly on routes leading to the VVIPs' route and the summit venue.
Sensitive Stations with All Entry and Exit Gates Closed:
Dhaula Kuan
Khan Market
Janpath
Supreme Court
Bhikaji Cama Place
Stations Without Entry and Exit Restrictions:
Aero City
South Campus
Dwarka Sec-21
Panchsheel Park
Chirag Delhi
Greater Kailash
Nehru Enclave
Kalkaji Mandir
Rajiv Chowk
Chawri Bazar
Chandni Chowk
Tourist Smart Cards Available During the G20 Summit
Anticipating increased passenger footfall during the G20 Summit, Delhi Metro will sell 'Tourist Smart Cards' at dedicated counters in 36 stations from September 4 to 13. These cards come in two categories: one-day and three-day validity, offering unlimited rides within the metro network.
These cards are usually available but have dedicated counters open for a 10-day period around the summit to accommodate delegates and international visitors exploring the city. The one-day card costs Rs 200, while the three-day card is priced at Rs 500, which includes a refundable security deposit of Rs 50.
These tourist smart cards provide an economical and convenient way for travelers to navigate the Delhi Metro system during the summit. It's a cost-effective choice, especially for those planning to visit prominent tourist places in the capital city as part of their G20 Summit experience.
In addition to the metro closures, it's important to note that Delhi will have various travel restrictions and closures during the summit, affecting rail, air, and road routes. As the city prepares to host world leaders and delegates from 40 countries, including the United States, Canada, France, and others, these security measures are essential to ensure a safe and orderly event.
All essential services such as hospitals, medicine shops, and milk shops will remain open in Delhi during this period. While there may be disruptions along event routes, metro services will continue to operate in other areas, making it vital for commuters and tourists to plan their journeys with these considerations in mind.

The Vietnam Golf Coast is calling travellers this summer with its unique blend of lush landscapes, cultural immersion, and exclusive seasonal packages. Stretching across Central Vietnam, this renowned golf destination is offering more than just top-tier fairways—it’s inviting players to experience the soul of Vietnam through its rice paddies, highland mists, seaside breezes, and traditional flavours.
At Laguna Golf Lang Co, harvest season paints the course with shades of gold as rice paddies reach their peak through May and June. “This is one of the most enchanting times to play,” says Stephen Banks, Director of Golf, noting how the course deeply reflects Vietnam’s natural rhythms and traditions. This summer, golfers can enjoy curated offers like the Golf & Spa package, the time-friendly Golf Express deal, and the Golden Rice Flash Sales that celebrate the vibrant harvest.
Nestled in the cool highlands beyond Da Nang, Ba Na Hills Golf Club offers a completely different ambiance. Surrounded by pine trees and misty mountain air, it provides a tranquil escape from the coastal heat. “Every time I walk this course, I’m reminded why golf in the mountains feels different – calmer, clearer, and more connected,” shares General Manager Simon Mees. The summer lineup includes a Twi-Night Golf package, with weekday slots available until 2:15 PM (3:00 PM on Wednesdays) at just VND2,600,000 (USD100), complete with a refreshing beer. The Night Golf experience, starting at VND2,500,000 per player, adds local flair with craft beer and Ba Na sausage.
Closer to the coast, Montgomerie Links offers the classic charm of seaside golf, where the sea breeze dances through casuarina pines and fishing boats drift along the horizon. “Montgomerie Links captures the spirit of true links golf, but with a distinct Vietnamese character,” says Club Manager Le Vo Hoang Van. Their Stay & Play package is available until September 30, 2025, starting from just VND4,770,000, offering unbeatable value by the beach.
What sets the Vietnam Golf Coast apart is its ability to fuse sport with culture. From caddies in traditional non la hats to clubhouses serving iconic Vietnamese dishes like ca phe sua da, banh mi, pho, and bun thit nuong, every detail adds to the experience.
Off the greens, golfers are spoilt for choice. Laguna Golf Lang Co is close to the historic city of Hue, while Ba Na Hills and Montgomerie Links are a quick drive from Da Nang’s beaches, fireworks festival, and buzzing food scene. And of course, the UNESCO-listed town of Hoi An, with its lantern-lit streets and timeless charm, is always worth a visit.
For golfers seeking more than just a round, this summer on the Vietnam Golf Coast promises a sense of place, pace, and unforgettable play.
