Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to visit Mumbai on Thursday to lay the foundation stone of various projects and inaugurate two Metro lines.
Traffic movement in the city is likely to be affected due to the PM’s visit. PM Modi will address BJP and Shiv Sena workers at Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) exhibition ground, his first since the Eknath Shinde government came to power in Maharashtra.
Mumbai Police has banned large gatherings in the city as part of the security detail.
Drones, paragliders and remote-controlled microlight aircraft flying activities will be banned in the jurisdiction of BKC police station, Andheri police station, Meghwadi police Station and Jogeshwari police Station for 24 hours on January 19.
All organisations in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) have been asked allow staff to leave work by 12 pm.
The PM will flag two new lines on the Mumbai Metro, worth around INR 12,600 crore.
The 18.6 km long line 2A connects Dahisar East and DN Nagar (yellow line) is around, while the 16.5 km long line 7(red line) connects Andheri East to Dahisar East.
The Prime Minister will also inaugurate the Navi Mumbai Metro’s 5.96-km stretch that connects Belapur and Kharghar’s Central Park stations.
