The Borivli police took action against the banquet hall of Witty International School in Chikuwadi, Borivli West, for allegedly causing traffic congestion by setting up a music system on the road during a marriage event on December 15. Local residents filed a complaint with the traffic division after the road was completely jammed, leaving an ambulance stuck in traffic. As a result, the police fined the banquet hall Rs 5,000.

The complaint was lodged by members of the neighbouring Paradise Heights society after the traffic jam occurred at 11.45 pm on Sunday. School authorities told mid-day that the wedding procession (Baraat) was responsible for the congestion since the loudspeakers were placed outside the school premises. Paradise Heights society, located at Chikuwadi, consists of 564 flats with approximately 2,500 residents, while the nearby MHADA Nakshatra Housing Society has 172 flats housing around 1,000 residents.
