The crowds were less through the day in Mulund and Ghatkopar on Tuesday, but swelled late in the evening mostly due to confusion about the exact nature of the 'lockdown' - the restrictions, so people stocked up on food and essentials.

In the evening the prime RRT Road in Mulund west was packed with people. Residents, however, said that the road is always crowded as it is a busy marketplace on the way to the railway station.
