January 06, 2015 22:56

The US Secret Service is leaving nothing to chance as they prepare a foolproof security mechanism for President Barack Obama during his visit to India later this month.

The advance team of the Secret Service is already in India and is working in tandem with Indian security agencies to workout security arrangements across the venues on President's itinerary.

Obama is the first US President to be the chief guest at India's Republic Day parade on January 26.

As per reports, the Secret Service will position surveillance satellites to track each and every movement of the President.

The surveillance will be highest when Obama will travel down the Rajpath and be seated in the VVIP enclosure along with President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
