Police issue permission for Sunburn Arena to be held on Sunday

Mumbai | Sunday | 15th January, 2017

Summary:

more-inThe Sunburn Arena concert featuring artist David Guetta, which had to be cancelled on Friday, has been rescheduled and will now be held on Sunday, with the Mumbai police granting permission for the event. The police will have a tough day to look forward to on Sunday, with the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon in the morning and the Sunburn Arena in the evening. The organisers had since then been in talks with the Mumbai Police as well as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and the Fire Brigade so that the event could be held at the earliest. The police are likely to call in reinforcements from forces like the State Reserve Police Force if needed, and a decision in this regard will be taken by Saturday evening, said officials. The event, which was earlier scheduled to be held at the Reliance Jio gardens in the Bandra Kurla Complex on Friday night, had to be called off as the organisers had failed to secure necessary permissions from the concerned authorities..
