In anticipation of the upcoming G20 Summit, Rio de Janeiro has entered a state of lockdown, with authorities deploying 25,000 troops to patrol the city. The extensive security measures also include the use of drones and surveillance cameras, ensuring a high level of monitoring around key areas where world leaders will gather.
This heightened security operation is part of Brazil's efforts to safeguard the event and prevent any disruptions during the global summit. The presence of military personnel, along with aerial surveillance, aims to ensure that the summit, which will address major economic and political issues, takes place smoothly and securely.
The lockdown will restrict movement in certain parts of Rio, and locals have been urged to remain aware of security protocols. Authorities have reassured the public that the measures are in place for their protection and to ensure that the summit proceeds without incident. The global spotlight on Rio will make this one of the most closely guarded events in the city's history.
