Mumbai: Ahead of the annual Makhdoom Shah Baba Dargah URS 2025, a large influx of devotees is expected in the Mahim area between December 4 and December 14. To ensure smooth vehicular movement and prevent congestion, the Mumbai Traffic Police have announced temporary traffic regulations for the duration of the event.

Road Closure

The following road will remain closed for vehicular traffic throughout the period:

Balmiya Lane (Mumbai Darbar to Kapad Bazar Chowki, opposite Mahim Traffic Chowki)

Alternative Routes Announced

North-bound traffic:

Vehicles must take a right turn from Kapad Bazar and proceed via L.J. Road.

After 1:30 pm, motorists shall use Cadel Road.
