In anticipation of the T20 cricket world cup victory parade, Mumbai has ramped up security measures at multiple local railway stations, including Churchgate, Marine Lines, and Charni Road. The Western Railway (WR) announced these enhanced steps via their official handle on X, aiming to manage the expected influx of spectators and daily commuters during the evening rush hour.
The victory parade, featuring an open bus journey from Marine Drive to Wankhede Stadium, is expected to draw significant crowds. Recognizing the likely overlap with thousands of commuters returning home from South Mumbai, WR has deployed additional ticket checking staff and kept extra UTS windows at Churchgate operational till midnight.
As the day progressed, crowds began to swell at Churchgate and other stations, as eager fans gathered to witness and participate in the celebratory parade. Officials noted the enthusiastic turnout, emphasizing the importance of the heightened security arrangements.
