To manage the large crowds expected during the Visarjan processions, the Mumbai Police has issued a traffic advisory. The city will experience various traffic diversions to accommodate the grand immersion processions.

    The Coastal Road will remain open 24 hours a day until September 18, easing travel between North and South Mumbai. However, authorities advise avoiding private vehicles and using local trains and BEST buses to reduce traffic congestion. New Railway Overbridges (ROBs) guidelines have been introduced, limiting pedestrian traffic to 100 people at a time. Additionally, processions, dancing, and the use of loudspeakers on these bridges are prohibited for safety reasons.

    While the Coastal Road will be accessible for travel between North and South Mumbai, other major routes such as the Eastern Freeway, P D’Mello Road, CSMT Junction Road, and Princess Street will also remain open.

    Heavy congestion in these areas

    Heavy traffic is expected around Girgaon Chowpatty and nearby areas including Girgaon, Thakurdwar, VP Road, SVP Road, and Raja Ram Mohan Roy Road in Kalbadevi. Significant congestion is also anticipated in Cuffe Parade, Badhwar Park in Colaba, the Metro Junction near CSMT, and in Bhendi Bazaar, Pydhonie, and DB Marg.

    In Nagpada, areas such as Agripada, Saat Rasta Junction, Khada Parsee Junction, NM Joshi Marg, and Mumbai Central Junction are likely to face heavy traffic. Motorists are advised to use main roads like Dr. BA Road, Lalbaug Flyover Bridge, Sir JJ Flyover, and the Coastal Road as alternatives to avoid congestion on inner streets.

    Traffic restrictions in THESE areas

    In Dadar’s Bhoiwada area, heavy traffic is anticipated around Hind Mata Junction, Bharat Mata Junction, Parel TT Junction, and Ranjit Bidhakar Chowk. Dr. Annie Besant Road at Worli Naka and NM Joshi Marg will be closed during the Lalbaugcha Raja procession. Swatantraveer Savarkar Marg in Dadar will also be closed near Siddhivinayak Temple as processions move toward Shivaji Park Chowpatty.

    Overbridge restrictions

    The traffic police have implemented restrictions on 13 Railway Overbridges, such as those at Ghatkopar, Currey Road, Byculla, Marine Lines, and Dadar Tilak ROB, limiting the number of people crossing to 100 at a time. To ensure safety, the use of loudspeakers and dancing on these bridges is prohibited.

    Cleanliness is service fortnight starts today, start from home with government machinery, we have to stop relying on the government and system’s machinery, it is our responsibility and preparation to bring the city to the top, better results are certain

    Priyank Sharma. Naiduniya Gwalior. Gwalior’s name should be renowned in the country and state for cleanliness, now it is time to bring this hope to reality. We have to stop relying on the government and the system’s machinery, we have to start from our own homes and resolve to bring cleanliness at all costs. Our responsibility and preparation to bring the city to the top, better results are certain. We will not spread garbage ourselves and will stop others from doing so, this one habit can change the picture of Gwalior.

    Instead of looking at the cleanliness of Indore, we can also be proud of the cleanliness of our city. From September 17, the district government is running a fortnight till October 2 under the Swachhata Hi Seva campaign. Naiduniya is going to start a cleanliness campaign in which, under the slogan “Come condemn the dirt, come clean your city”, along with making the public aware to clean the city, important suggestions and the efforts and failures of the system will be put forward.

    Naiduniya suggestion: Whoever creates mess, corporation should issue notice and e-challan should be issued

    Gwalior has a complete system of Nagar Nigam, there are more than three thousand sanitation workers, a large fleet, yet there are a lot of complaints about cleanliness. Wherever there is an empty space, garbage is thrown there, now this habit has to be corrected. Whether it is a market or a house, an empty plot or a ground, wherever garbage is thrown, a notice should be issued to the thrower by the Nagar Nigam. The meaning of issuing a notice is that the person who throws garbage should realize that if he throws garbage, he will be a party to the action. For this, Nagar Nigam can also adopt the system of e-challan like other departments, in Gwalior, help can be taken from Smart City to police cameras as well as public participation cameras. With such efforts, there will be strictness about spreading garbage and people will also realize responsibility.

    Make people aware of the places where they have a habit of throwing garbage and get them cleaned

    Get health insurance for all Safai Mitras (sanitation workers). This work should be done on priority during the “Swachhata Hi Seva-2024” campaign to be organized in the district from September 17, the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to October 2, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. Collector Ruchika Chauhan gave this instruction to the Municipal Corporation Commissioner and Project Officer District Urban Development Agency, CMOs of all urban bodies and other concerned officials. The Collector was reviewing the preparations for the Swachhata Hi Seva campaign through Google Meet. The Collector said that all the urban bodies of the district, including the Municipal Corporation, should mark such places, where garbage points have been thrown by the people of the local settlements and are becoming a hindrance in the cleanliness of the city. He said that all such places should be cleaned. Along with this, local people should also be made aware not to throw garbage there. The Collector has sought an action plan from the concerned officials within a week to get the health insurance of Safai Mitras.
