Mumbai witnessed mild traffic hiccups and crowds on Thursday during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the city. Things mostly remained in control and even the two-hour closure of Ghatkopar-Versova Metro did not generate much anxiety. Traffic movement on the Western Express Highway was not disrupted much with only a 10-minute delay near Jogeshwari when the PM’s convoy moved from the airport to Bandra-Kurla Complex where he inaugurated several infrastructure projects. Modi then visited Gundavali station to inaugurate the new Metro line amid heavy police bandobast along the WEH.

The few places in the city that witnessed halt in traffic and public movement in the afternoon due to the PM’s convoy included BKC, Vakola and Andheri East. There were also some traffic diversions in these areas. A Twitter user Pramodh Kumar tweeted a photo of traffic congestion near the Leela hotel junction near the terminal 2 of Mumbai airport.
