Mumbai Traffic Update: Police implements odd-even parking in parts of Bandra till January 17 - Details Here

To ease traffic congestion and improve pedestrian safety, the Mumbai police on Thursday, December 18, announced parking restrictions on a stretch of road in Khernagar and Nirmal Nagar areas in Bandra (East).

According to the official statement, an odd-even parking restrictions will be in force from 12.01 am on December 19, 2025 until January 17, 2026, round the clock.

The traffic notification further stated that the residential societies and urban settlements are located on both sides of the road near Khernagar Building No. 35 and Nirmal Nagar Buildings No. 12 and 14.

Due to ongoing redevelopment work in the Khernagar area, there has been a sharp rise in the movement of heavy vehicles carrying construction materials such as cement and iron rods. This has placed extra pressure on roads that are mainly used for daily commuting.

A similar situation exists near Nirmal Nagar, where improper parking and heavy traffic movement have led to congestion and increased the risk of accidents.

Police officials said that they have observed approximately 3,000 to 4,000 pedestrians and 800 to 1,200 vehicles use this road every day. Indiscriminate parking has caused serious inconvenience to local residents and has created unsafe conditions for pedestrians.

Temporary restrictions on parking of vehicles have been imposed in front of these roads:

• Khernagar Building No. 35
• Nirmal Nagar Buildings No. 12 and 14, Bandra East

Odd-Even Parking Rules:

- On even dates (2, 4, 6, etc.), vehicles must be parked on the south side of the road
