New Delhi: India has trimmed the route for the Olympic torch relay this week, fearing Tibetan protesters might try to disrupt the procession.
The final route is still to be announced, but the Indian media have reported the torch will travel less than a third of the original 9km distance scheduled in one of New Delhi's most heavily guarded neighbourhoods tomorrow.
"The route has been curtailed...We are meeting now to decide all the plans for the relay," Randhir Singh, Secretary-General of the Indian Olympic Association, said.
