The advisory, issued by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, addresses expected congestion due to events at Bandra Reclamation, K.C. Road, and Carter Road. This also aims to ensure smooth traffic flow till January 5, 2025, during the festive period.

To minimise traffic disruption, parking restrictions will be enforced along key routes.

Road Closures:

Alternate Routes:
