Citizens in Hyderabad can expect a tough time on the roads today with high-profile VVIP movement expected to disrupt traffic and throw general life out of gear.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be in the city to flag off the Hyderabad Metro and inaugurate the three-day Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) 2017. Also in the city is Ivanka Trump, the daughter of US President Donald Trump and a senior White House advisor, who will be attending the GES 2017 (live updates) as well.

With Tuesday being a working day, the traffic restrictions put in place for the GES, which is being held in the High-tech city area, are likely to adversely affect office-goers.Both Cyberabad Police and Hyderabad Police have put in place restrictions and diversions and have shut down certain roads.

For the most part of the day, Prime Minister Modi will use a helicopter for his inter-city travel. In the evening, PM Modi will switch to road transport to Falaknuma, where he will host a dinner for Ivanka Trump.On the other hand, Ivanka and other dignitaries visiting GES 2017 will largely travel by road, forcing the traffic police to put up travel restrictions for citizens in Hyderabad.
