While the Mumbai Police has no information on when the rebel Shiv Sena MLAs will arrive in Mumbai from Guwahati, they have started preparations, including alerting airports, an official said.

A sizable number of MLAs, led by the party's Thane strongman Eknath Shinde, had rebelled against Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray and had moved first to Surat in neighbouring Gujarat and then to Assam.
