The Rashtrapati Bhawan has always been a must visit for tourists coming to New Delhi. Perhaps no other site in the Capital attracts so many “selfies” as the place in front of the Delhi 

Police barrier in front of the President’s house on Rajpath. But tourists almost always overlooked the other powerhouse —the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) at South Block, just a few yards away. Now, the police barrier has been shifted a bit further down Rajpath, thereby including the PMO’s gates in the visitors’ zone. It’s not known whether the step was taken in view of greater threat perception or to attract tourists’ attention to the PMO.
