Vance, his Indian-origin wife Usha and their three children - Evan, Vivek and Mirabel - will land at the Palam airbase around 10 am on a four-day visit to India.
"We have already conducted mock drills according to the security protocol for the high-level visit of the US vice president. Security has been tightened across different areas of Delhi to ensure that everything goes smoothly and no untoward incident happens during the visit," the official told PTI.
"Delhi Traffic Police will also ensure that the routes the US vice president will take remain clear," he said.
