  "summary": "The 18th BRICS Summit will take place in New Delhi on September 12-13. India will assume the chairmanship of the grouping for the fourth time. The summit will bring together leaders of the BRICS nations, which include Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, as well as other emerging markets and developing countries.\n\nAhead of the summit, security arrangements have been tightened in the national capital. The Delhi Police and central security agencies have stepped up vigilance following Intelligence Bureau alerts about possible attempts to disrupt VVIP movement and breach security arrangements. Thousands of police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed, with barricades, checkpoints, and traffic curbs in place across major roads and key areas.\n\nTraffic movement in Delhi is expected to be affected, with restrictions coming into effect from the afternoon. A public holiday has been declared to reduce traffic and limit movement across the city, with government offices, schools, and many private businesses closed. The tight security and traffic controls have caused inconvenience to residents, who are used to dealing with the city's notorious traffic congestion.",
