A lot has changed since the last time Enrique Iglesias performed in Mumbai in 2004. While the venue remains the same, the connectivity has improved, and the growing interest in music concerts has also led transport services to aid fans beyond the local trains, buses and taxis. As the Grammy awardee is set to sing for fans in India at the MMRDA Grounds in Bandra Kurla Complex on October 29 and 30, services have been extended for smooth travel.
According to guidelines released by Eva Live, the producer and promoter of the Spanish singer-songwriter`s two-day concert, “The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) has designed the schedule of the Mumbai Metro Line 3 to accommodate commuters. The last train from Aarey and BKC towards Cuffe Parade will depart at 11.42 PM and 12 AM respectively. Furthermore, the last train from Cuffe Parade and BKC towards Aarey will likely depart at 11.33 pm and 12.07 am respectively. Concertgoers can get down at either Bandra Kurla Complex station or Bandra Colony to reach the MMRDA grounds. Both these stations are nearest to the venue.” The changes have been confirmed by the MMRC.
Given the scale of the event, to ensure the safety and smooth execution, comprehensive law and order measures have been put in place with full support from Mumbai’s traffic police and local authorities. Over 300 traffic marshals will be deployed to manage vehicular movement and pedestrian flow around the MMRDA Grounds, minimising disruptions in the busy Bandra Kurla Complex area. Additionally, more than 500 private agency security personnel will be stationed throughout the venue to provide a secure environment for all attendees.
