In Mumbai, extensive preparations are ongoing at Shivaji Park for the last rites of the legendary playback singer Asha Bhosle, set for Monday. Tribute ceremonies have been an outpouring of respect since she passed away due to multi-organ failure.

Security has been heightened in the area as a flower-adorned vehicle transports her remains from her Lower Parel residence, Casa Grande, to the ceremonial grounds five kilometers away. Barricades and police personnel are in place to ensure the solemnity is upheld.
