Some terrible commutes lie ahead this week for motorists and students who have to head to Churchgate or Nariman Point every morning. With the state government’s decision to hold the Republic Day parade at Marine Drive this year on the lines of Delhi’s Rajpath, parade practice every morning on the roads in the vicinity has been giving grief to regular motorists and school-going children. The Mumbai Police, Armed Forces and children representing various schools are taking part in the rehearsals.
