MUMBAI: The Maharashtra government has declared a special public holiday for Mumbai on Saturday when India and Sri Lanka play the cricket World Cup final at Wankhede Stadium.

"A special public holiday has been declared for Mumbai city on April 2 (Saturday) under the Negotiable Instruments Act," an official said.

Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan had earlier mulled the idea of declaring it a special public holiday.

The idea was to reduce the tension on the day of the match, Chavan had told reporters.
