Ahmedabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Mauritian counterpart Pravind Kumar Jugnauth took part in a roadshow here on Tuesday evening after arrival at the Ahmedabad airport.

The two travelled in separate vehicles as people lined up on both sides of the road.

PM Modi's cavalcade passed first, followed by cars in the Mauritian prime minister's convoy, officials said.

PM Modi, seated in a closed car, was seen waving at the people.

To accord a grand welcome to PM Modi and Mauritius PM Jugnauth, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation had erected 30 stages along the two-kilometre route from the Airport circle to Indira Bridge on the outskirts of the city, it said in a release.

Artists performed traditional dances on these makeshift stages.
