India: Shiv Sena party rally planned in Mumbai May 14
Shiv Sena party rally to occur in Mumbai, India, from 19:00 May 14. Increased security and localized traffic disruptions likely.
Event
The Shiv Sena party will hold a rally at the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) ground in Mumbai's Bandra-Kurla Complex from 19:00 May 14. Maharastra State's Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, will address the event. Thousands of people will likely participate.
Tight security is likely at and near the rally venue. Authorities may enforce security checkpoints, cordons, and traffic diversions or road closures to facilitate the movement of dignitaries. Participants may clash with police and/or rival party members, mainly from the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). Localized transport disruptions may be exacerbated on nearby routes, including those leading to the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM), especially as attendees reach and leave the site.

Avoid the rally as a precaution. If violence breaks out, leave the area immediately. Confirm road status and travel reservations if operating in the affected area, the evening of May 14; allow additional travel time. Heed all traffic and security advisories.
