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.
Heavy Influx of Devotees Expected
Every year, thousands of devotees visit the dargah during URS, and several sandal processions pass through the surrounding area. Balmiya Lane, adjoining Dargah Road, typically witnesses severe crowding as vendors set up stalls on both sides, causing major traffic obstruction.

The temporary traffic arrangements will be enforced from 12:01 am on December 4 to 12:00 midnight on December 14, 2025.
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.
