A meeting of the Development Working Group of the G20 in the Council will be held in the city from December 13 to December 16.
WhatsApp chats are abuzz with opinions and photos about Mumbai being spruced up for the G20. Citizens seem wryly amused and taken aback at the fast clip at which the work is taking place. From dividers to cleanliness drives things are being spruced up so that there is a visible change in the city and Mumbai can put its best face forward at these meetings.

Citizens seem amused but bitter, too. While there may be pride that the city is getting a facelift and we do want our guests to see what we have to offer, there are questions at the speed with which this work is taking place.
