Justin Bieber to land in Mumbai today amid heavy security; Beliebers set for May 10 concert

Canadian singer Justin Bieber is expected to arrive in the city today, according to sources in the Mumbai police. “We have a detailed plan for his security. The Navi Mumbai police will be in charge of security during his concert on May 10 ,” an officer said.

The Navi Mumbai police have made special arrangements to monitor vehicles on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway on that day . More than 50,000 Beliebers — fans of the singer — are expected to attend the concert at the DY Patil stadium in Nerul.

A Delhi-based company, White Fox, is managing the concert, which is part of the Asia leg of Bieber’s Purpose World Tour. It is the first time the international star will perform in India.

Police personnel will be deployed at various entry and exit gates. While the organisers have engaged private security agencies, the main job of police is to provide overall security and act swiftly in case of any disaster. During the show, plainclothes police personnel will also be keeping watch. A police control room will be set up at the venue.
