Mumbai Police issue traffic advisory for PM Modi’s Jahir Sabha event, detailing parking restrictions and alternate routes to manage congestion.
A traffic advisory has been issued by the Mumbai police in Dadar’s Shivaji Park to avoid vehicular congestion during the ‘Jahir Sabha’ event organised by Maharashtra Navnirman Sena on May 17. Traffic restrictions will be in effect from 10 pm on May 16 until midnight tonight, Friday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde, Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis, and others are expected to attend the Jahir Sabha event, prompting Mumbai Police to declare several areas as ‘no parking zones.’
An IPL match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) is also scheduled at the Wankhede Stadium today. As a result, police anticipate traffic jams on various highways.
“Due to a public meeting at Shivaji Park, Dadar and Fataka Ground, BKC alongside an IPL match at Wankhede Stadium, traffic congestion is expected at Marine Drive, Eastern Express Highway (EEH), and Western Express Highway (WEH),” Mumbai Traffic Police posted on X, formerly Twitter.
Police also advised air and train travelers to plan their journeys in advance to avoid inconvenience and ensure timely arrival.
