How India is preparing to welcome Trump

US President Donald Trump makes his first official visit to India on Monday and work has been going on around the clock to spruce things up.

A long wall has been hastily built, along the route in Ahmedabad in western India to the new Sardar Patel Stadium in order, locals believe, to hide a slum, although officials deny it.

Scores of banners and hoardings with pictures of Trump, Modi and Melania Trump have been put up across the city, projecting the 'Namaste Trump' rally as a historic event in US-India relations.
