Mr Obama will arrive in India on Saturday for the first leg of an Asian tour.
But as well as the usual security measures that come with welcoming a a visiting dignitary, Indian authorities have decided to go one step further, by removing all natural threats to the president as well. All coconuts around the city's Gandhi museum, one of Mr Obama's stops in the city, are being taken down.
Mani Bhavan, where Mahatma Gandhi stayed during his freedom struggle against the British, is among five places the US president is visiting in Mumbai.
"We told the authorities to remove the dry coconuts from trees near the building. Why take a chance?" Mani Bhavan's executive secretary, Meghshyam Ajgaonkar, told the BBC. Obama will arrive in India on Saturday for the first leg of an Asian tour.
But as well as the usual security measures that come with welcoming a a visiting dignitary, Indian authorities have decided to go one step further, by removing all natural threats to the president as well. Last week American security officers inspected Mani Bhavan and its surroundings along with other places the president is likely to visit.
Every year in India people are injured or even killed by falling coconuts.

Using Obama and "smart" in the same sentence? Just doesn't fit.
They’re cutting the wings off any birds found flying around the city as well. Plus legs off any ‘untouchable’ children, lest they wander too close to the luciferian pontiff.
This is standard practice in allot of resorts. BOzo doesn’t need to worry anyway because nothing will dent that bonehead.
Paging the EPA
Are they going to plug the volcanos in Indonesia for his Highness, also?

If its Gods will to smote a false god then his will shall not be stopped.
Myself I think there is a hidden cleverly concealed and shielded nuke under the Mumbai Palace.
So....no one will be singing, “You hit the Slime with the coconut and knock him all down?”
CNN tonight
“but but, did you criticize President Bush when they removed coconuts from the trees when he went abroad? You wouldn’t begrudge a President from taking security procedures would you?”
Please someone, answer this question:
HAS HUSSIN OBAMA EVER SPENT A WEEKEND, SINCE ELECTED, AT CAMP DAVID, MARYLAND?
Got the answer myself, you may ignore the question.
What is the alleged reason for this trip? Rush said the cost would be approx. $200 million per day. What is the national interest that requires that much of the taxpayer’s money be spent? Anyone???
Haha. Awesome!! And the libs drank ‘em both up.
So they are aborting poor defenseless coconuts
