The city police on Monday urged people to cooperate with the authorities concerned, including the police in traffic management, since the beginning of International maritime event MILAN-2024 from February 20 (Tuesday).

There will be no entry for private vehicles except those with permission from the naval authorities.
People have been asked to take alternative routes suggested by the police. Vehicles having valid passes should park their vehicles at six earmarked locations like APIIC grounds, AU English Medium School Grounds and AU Football Ground.

Driven by civil society groups, conservationists, and indigenous communities, this restoration story offers hope at a time when fragile ecosystems across India face growing threats.
