After footballer Baichung Bhutia, master blaster Sachin Tendulkar has decided not to take part in the Olympic torch relay in New Delhi.

The torch is expected to arrive in the capital from Islamabad later on Wednesday.

Tight security arrangements have been made in India for the relay on April 17.

The torch relay has been marred with disruptions in London, Paris and San Francisco by Tibetan protestors.
