India: Cyclist groups will protest outside the Mantralaya in Mumbai March 15

Cyclist groups will protest outside the Mantralaya, the administrative headquarters of the Maharashtra State government, in Mumbai March 15. The action aims to urge government officials to implement road safety measures following several recent accidents involving cyclists and drivers. Demonstrators will also submit a request to meet the chief minister and municipal authorities. While turnout remains unclear, dozens to a hundred supporters may participate.

Heightened security measures are likely in the affected area through the evening of March 15. Localized transport disruptions are probable, especially if demonstrators block roadways. Isolated scuffles are possible if police attempt to disperse the gathering forcibly or if activists attempt to breach security cordons.
