Earlier that day, PM Modi laid the foundation stone for two twin tunnels connecting Thane and Borivali, as well as the BMC's Goregaon-Mulund Link Road. He also inaugurated development projects worth Rs 29,400 crore in Mumbai. Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, along with Deputy CMs Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar, honored the PM at the event, where all three were present.

On Day 2 of the celebrations, the venue was filled with the Kardashians, Bachchans, A-list celebrities, politicians, and spiritual leaders.
