SRKâ€™s bungalow 'Mannat' a nuisance for pilgrims?

With the Bandra fair held annually in Mumbai, thousands of residents and worshippers who visit the Mount Mary Church, seem to have been inconvenienced once again this year.

SRK's bungalow Mannat is located next to the Mount Mary Church in Mumbai where thousands of pilgrims stock to during the annual Bandra fair. A road strategically located between SRK's home and the church has been blocked for SRK's safety and this has caused a nuisance to the pilgrims.

According to a report in Mid-Day, devotees went through a tough time while visiting the holy shrine due to blocks and barricades on Cement Road, put by the Bandra police in order to safeguard the palatial house of Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan.

SRK's bungalow Mannat falls to the right of Cement Road and further to reports in Mid-Day, cops who had previously blocked the road promised not to do it this time. But in vain!

But the thousands who will be inconvenienced due to the badhshah's presence in the locality, has irked the residents of Bandra and a residents' association has planned a huge protest on Saturday outside the church.

A senior level police officer was also quoted saying that SRK's security was only one aspect but the barricades were also there to protect the pilgrims in order to avoid a stampede due to narrow road and steep slope.
