Navi Mumbai: The Navi Mumbai Traffic Police have declared key roads in Koparkhairane and Ghansoli as no-parking zones from December 23, 2025, to January 17, 2026, in view of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation elections and to ensure smooth traffic movement during election-related activities.
Busy stretches identified due to expected heavy vehicular movement
The decision affects the stretch from Teen Tanki Chowk to Hotel Aldoust Chowk in Koparkhairane and the Ghansoli main road from Hari Complex in Sector 7 to the junction opposite NMMC School No. 76. These routes are expected to witness heavy vehicular movement due to nomination filing, ballot box distribution, strong room arrangements and vote counting.
In Koparkhairane, election-related processes for wards 10, 11, 12 and 13 will be conducted at Annasaheb Patil Hall, Sector 5, while in Ghansoli, similar processes for wards 6, 8 and 9 will be held at Samaj Mandir Hall, Sector 7. Traffic police officials said parking on these stretches could lead to congestion and inconvenience to citizens.
