New Delhi, July 17 - Around 2,000 police and intelligence personnel besides commandos will provide security to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her two-day stay in the national capital.

The Taj Palace Hotel where she will be staying has been turned into a virtual fortress and US intelligence officials have taken over the entire floor where her room is located.

Clinton, who arrives in Mumbai Friday night, is scheduled to arrive in the national capital Sunday afternoon.

Several hundred Delhi policemen and women, including plainclothes personnel, along with intelligence officials have thrown a security blanket around the spots Clinton will visit during her stay here.

The National Security Guard (NSG) commandos will be deployed at identified locations in the city, as will be Delhi Police and US intelligence officials.

'The hotel area has been sanitized and the floors above and below her room have been vacated to ensure foolproof security. The hotel authorities have been directed to check the details of all guests staying in the hotel and those scheduled to check in during her stay,' a senior security official told IANS.

According to Delhi Police, Clinton has been given top diplomat-level security and will travel in a bullet-proof vehicle piloted and escorted by security officials.

'A multi-layer security cover will be in place and so far there is no threat whatsoever. All security measures have been taken in consultation with officials of US intelligence agencies,' sources in the Delhi Police told IANS.

Security agencies have placed bomb disposal squads, spotters and dog squads, and anti-sabotage teams in different parts of the hotel.
