Mumbai: As thousands of people gathered in south Mumbai to watch the Indian T20 cricket team's victory parade, the Mumbai Police on Thursday evening advised commuters to avoid heading towards Marine Drive.
The T20 World Cup-winning team is to take part in a two-hour open bus parade from the National Center for Performing Arts (NCPA) at Nariman Point to the Wankhede Stadium.
"Due to the huge crowd of fans around Wankhede Stadium, people are requested to avoid going towards Marine Drive," the police appealed on its Ax handle.
People started gathering at Marine Drive as early as 3 pm and at some places police had to struggle to control the crowd.
Joint Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Satyanarayana took stock of the security arrangements at Marine Drive and Wankhede Stadium earlier in the day.
