The traffic notification was issued by Pradeep Chavan, Deputy Commissioner of Police (eastern suburbs), Traffic, Mumbai.


Therefore, it seems necessary to regulate traffic on Ghatkopar-Mankhurd Link Road, the traffic police said.

In order to prevent danger, obstruction and inconvenience to the public the traffic police was issuing the following diversions around Mankhurd area of eastern Mumbai, the traffic notification said.

Road Closed

Entry to all types of heavy vehicles (excluding Eid-E-Milad vehicles and BEST buses) are prohibited on both bounds between Chheda Nagar Junction and Mankhurd T Junction on Ghatkopar-Mankhurd Link Road. Also light vehicles shall use Ghatkopar - Mankhurd Link Road flyover.

No Parking

Parking on both bounds is prohibited on the following roads-

1) Ghatkopar - Mankhurd Link Road (between Chheda Nagar Junction and Mankhurd T. Junction)2) Madhukar Kadam Marg.

3) P.L. Lokhande Marg.

Road Diversion

1) Heavy vehicles going from Chheda Nagar Junction to Vashi will take Eastern Expressway to Umarshi Bappa Junction- V.N. Purav Marg.

Meanwhile, Mumbai, known for its diverse population, witnessed a gesture of communal harmony as this year’s Ganesh festival coincided with Eid-E-Milad-Un-Nabi. In response, Muslim scholars decided to adjust their procession schedule to avoid overlapping with the Ganesh celebrations. This follows last year’s similar decision when the Juloos procession was rescheduled due to Visarjan.

Eid-E-Milad, commemorating the birth of Prophet Mohammed, is celebrated on the 12th day of Rabi Ul Awal in the Islamic calendar. A senior Muslim scholar explained that the Juloos procession initially took place from Khilafat House in Byculla to Crawford Market decades ago, but over the years, more groups joined, expanding the event.
