It is soo very troublesome when VIPs decide to be on the move, that too without any prior notice. Why do they need so much protection from us? we elected them didnt we? if we wanted to hurt them we would bribe their body guards, wouldnt we? Obviously the need to notify residents in advance is never felt, they dont even bother to put up signs saying that the road ahead has been diverted. We will just have a traffic guy standing there and stopping vehicles... only slow moving vehicles mind you, which means its only rickshaw walas who have to bear the brunt, 2 wheelers and 4 wheelers are more than welcome to do what they like.
Its the modern techno age people. If the security of the VIP is such a big concern, just get them to log on to the function without having to be present physically, a lot cheaper and atleast people who actually have work to do can go about doing their usual stuff
