Mumbai, Feb 15 (KNN) A day after massive fire broke out during a cultural event at the 'Make In India Week' in Mumbai on Sunday evening, the Ministry of Commerce & Industry said that the day-3 of the event is going on as scheduled with enthusiastic participation.

“Day 3 Make in India week at the MMRDA Grounds in Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai is going on as scheduled with enthusiastic participation,” said the Ministry of Commerce & Industry in an official statement.

The venue is bustling with visitors, exhibitors and participants in various seminars and symposia, undeterred by the accidental fire at Chowpatty last night where a cultural event was being staged, the statement said. 

The main venue of the Make In India Centre is safe and security and fire audit has been reviewed. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had tweeted last night that Make in India events at the main venue would go on as planned. 

Union Ministers Ravi Shankar Prasad, Piyush Goyal, Nirmala Sitharaman and Dharmendra Pradhan are present at the venue attending various sectoral seminars being held at the Make in India Centre.

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar is scheduled to visit the Make in India Expo and the DRDO Pavilion in the afternoon. 

The ongoing Maharashtra Investment Summit has drawn record crowds of industrialists and as many as 10 MoUs are likely to be signed during the day. Around 12,000 visitors have walked in the venue to participate in various events of the Make in India Week. (With PIB Inputs)
