Traffic Update Announced In Dombivli East: Patharli Road Closed From February 3, Police Issue Diversion Advisory

Residents and daily commuters in Dombivli East will need to plan their travel carefully over the coming days, as the traffic police have announced temporary changes on a busy stretch under the Dombivli Traffic Sub Division.
