While Obama has retained the programme of his address to a select gathering in Delhi on 27 January, a visit to Agra to see the iconic Taj Mahal has been cancelled as the President will leave from New Delhi to Saudi Arabia whose king Abdullah died on Thursday night. After Americans informed the change in the programme of the President, all concerned security agencies and local administration has been conveyed the same. A senior UP government official in Lucknow said that Obama has cancelled all his personal programmes as he would be travelling to Saudi Arabia. He was scheduled to visit the city of Taj with his wife Michelle Obama on Tuesday next for which elaborate security arrangements had been made. The US President, who will be arriving in India on Sunday for talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and be the chief guest at the Republic Day, will leave India on 27 January.
