at/in city [when country follows city ]

English Language & Usage Asked by rzd85 on October 31, 2020

I know we generally use in for “city, town and country “. But I am confused about when “the country ” follows “the city”. Which one should we use?

1) I live in Mumbai in India.

2) I live at Mumbai in India.

as for me,i think,it should be "i live at mumbai in India" reason being that,Mumbai is in India,so "at" Mumbai ,and Mumbai is "in" India in as much as we can take that short form but we can also take this other form

'at' is a point to another point.
e.g. I live in the city.
