Police have urged citizens to cooperate with the diversions and plan their journeys to avoid delays. “We request commuters to follow the traffic instructions to ensure everyone’s safety during the festival,” said DCP Jadhav.

With heavy footfall and festive crowds likely to cause congestion, the traffic branch has appealed to the public to use alternative roads and allow extra time for travel in and around the city centre.
