35,000 Mumbai cops to guard against trouble

July 30, 2015 15:04

Tight security in Mumbai since last night after the Supreme Court confirmed the death sentence of 1993 Mumbai blasts convict Yakub Memon. There will be at least 35,000 cops on the streets to ensure law and order prevails. Hundreds of plainclothes policemen will mingle in the crowd near Al Hussaini building, the residence of the Memon family near the Mahim police station, to monitor the situation. Stringent checks are also being carried out at several barricades in sensitive spots around the city.
This morning, Mumbai police commissioner Rakesh Maria made a quick stopover at Mahim to oversee the arrangements.
