With nearly 35,000 people expected to attend the October 31 swearing-in of the new Maharashtra Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis, and other ministers at Wankhede Stadium in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the venue has already turned into a fortress and been handed over to security agencies.

The stadium has a capacity of approximately 30,000 and there are, of course, a plethora of VVIPs expected. From entertainment to business, the ceremony will be a showcase for the who's who of India.
