Mumbai Sightseeing Detour: Azad Maidan Protests Lead to Excursion at Gateway of India, Nariman Point, and Taj Hotel by Protesters
Despite the city of Mumbai being under a yellow alert for rain along Thane and Navi Mumbai on August 31, and heavy rainfall expected in Konkan districts till September 3, large numbers of protesters continued their demonstrations and sightseeing in the city on Saturday.
The protest, which has been ongoing since Saturday, has seen participants from various parts of Maharashtra, including Marathwada, joining in. This mass influx of protesters has led to significant traffic congestion on key city routes such as the Thane Creek Bridge, Atal Setu, and the Eastern Freeway.
The protest has not been confined to a single location. In addition to Azad Maidan, a popular gathering spot, protesters have been seen visiting global tourist attractions like the Taj Hotel. A viral video shows some protesters entering the Taj Hotel, although no information is available on who exactly entered the hotel in the referenced video.
Large crowds of protesters have gathered at Nariman Point and the Gateway of India, a historic landmark. At the Gateway of India, some protesters were seen dancing to the beat of drums while others were seen engaging in typical sightseeing activities such as taking selfies, clicking pictures, and recording videos.
Interestingly, due to the muddy conditions at Azad Maidan, many protesters chose to go sightseeing in Mumbai instead. Sightseeing at Nariman Point and the Gateway of India includes activities such as taking selfies, clicking pictures, and recording videos.
The city's iconic landmarks have become a focal point for this unique blend of protest and tourism. The Gateway of India remains a popular spot for protesters, with some seen dancing to the beat of drums. The Taj Hotel, a symbol of Mumbai's resilience, has also become part of the protest narrative, albeit unconventionally.
As the city braces for more rain, the demonstrations continue, adding a layer of unpredictability to Mumbai's usual bustling rhythm. The city's resilience and its people's spirit remain undeterred, as they navigate through this period of protest and inclement weather.
