Bilateral Talks Between PM Modi & UK PM Starmer In Mumbai

Starmer’s visit to India, his first since assuming office, will take place from October 8 to 9. During this visit, he and Prime Minister Modi are scheduled to hold bilateral discussions in Mumbai on October 9 to review the progress made under the India–UK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. The meeting, aligned with the Vision 2035 roadmap, will focus on strengthening collaboration in priority sectors such as trade, defence, technology, climate action, healthcare and education.

Traffic Woes In BKC Due To High-profile Event

Given the scale of the summit and the expected movement of high-profile delegations, the BKC area, home to major financial institutions such as the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the National Stock Exchange (NSE), and several leading banks including ICICI Bank and Punjab National Bank, is likely to experience heavy vehicular traffic.

Traffic authorities have advised commuters, office-goers, and residents in the vicinity to use alternative routes, carpool where possible and rely on public transportation to reduce congestion. Additional traffic personnel will be deployed to manage vehicle flow and ensure minimal disruption throughout the event.
