"The government has declared a local holiday in the city and suburban district for government and semi-government offices on April 2," an official said.

The decision was taken after the city police requested the government to declare a holiday on Saturday to reduce crowd movement in the metropolis, particularly south Mumbai, where the Stadium is located.
