Summary:
Most foreign tourists were unaware of the prior registration, but were offered on-the-spot registration after volunteers spotted them. Additionally, MTDC and the Brihanamumbai Municipal Corporation provided facilities like drinking water, mobile toilets, first aid and transport facilities from the Taj Mahal Hotel, MTDC kiosk near Hotel Trident, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and Churchgate Station. As 10 CCTV cameras, five watch towers and 1,400 municipal personnel safeguarded them, the visitors were enamoured with the spectacle of the procession. The tourists were guests of the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC), which had organised a viewing deck for them at Girgaum Chowpatty. The MTDC had tied up with the Federation of Hotel and Restuarant Association of India to enable visiting tourists to register..
