AHMEDABAD - 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 - to the annoyance of some locals as well as monkeys.

Mr Sardar Sarania, a resident of the slum, is disgusted at what he sees as Prime Minister Narendra Modi's attempt to conceal reality. Scores of banners and hoardings with pictures of Mr Trump, Mr Modi and Mrs Melania Trump have been put up across the city, projecting the"Namaste Trump" rally as a historic event in US-India relations.

The local Cattle and Dog Nuisance Control Department has constituted a crack team to remove dogs and errant cows - another common sight in Indian cities - in a three-kilometre radius of the route. The captive monkeys are put in cages with food, sent to a"distant location" and released, Mr Patel said.

Time, and also air pollution, have however taken their toll, turning parts of the Taj Mahal yellow, necessitating several rounds of treatment with coatings of mud packs that are then peeled off.
