Mumbai Traffic Police have declared a temporary no-parking zone on a narrow internal road in the Mahim area to reduce congestion and ensure smooth movement for residents and emergency services.
The affected stretch is a small internal road connecting Shitladevi Road to Zinia Co-operative Housing Society. The road, reserved by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), serves Buildings A and B of the society.
An official traffic notification, issued on Saturday, said that vehicles, especially two-wheelers, parked on both sides were causing serious obstruction, making it difficult for residents’ vehicles to enter and exit.
Easy access for emergency services
The notification highlighted that the congestion could delay critical services such as ambulances and fire brigade vehicles.
The temporary restriction aims to ensure clear access during emergencies, it stated.
The notification was issued by Dr. Dipali Dhate, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Headquarters and Central Traffic), under provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.
No-parking rule duration
The no-parking arrangement will remain in force on a temporary basis from April 12, 2026 (00:01 hrs) to July 10, 2026 (24:00 hrs).
Parking of vehicles on both sides of the road will be strictly prohibited during this period, it said.
Traffic police officials have appealed to residents and commuters to follow the rules and cooperate with enforcement agencies. The measure is intended to prevent inconvenience and improve safety in the area.
