Mumbai: A three-tiered security cover have been made with a deployment of 10,000 policemen ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's scheduled visit to Mumbai on Saturday for the inauguration of the 'Make in India' week event.
Modi is set to inaugurate the programme at the NSCI Auditorium at Worli in central Mumbai. Later, he is also likely to interact with industry captains like Ratan Tata, Cyrus Mistry, Mukesh Ambani.
"There would be three-tiered security arrangements in view of PM's visit here tomorrow," DCP (Detection) Dhananjay Kulkarni said.

"The third layer of the security will man the outer-most post of the venues and roads and these personnel will especially belong to city's police force," Kulkarni said.
Specialised police personnel from Quick Response Team (QRT), SRPF, Combat Vehicles and snippers will be deployed at specific locations around the venues where the PM will visit, police said.
