Several residents of Parel on Friday evening gathered at Elphinstone Bridge in Mumbai to protest as the civic officials began preparations to shut down the the crucial road.

As per latest development, Elphinstone Bridge was kept partially opened for traffic at 10 pm. The lane at the Parel-end was blocked by the protesting residents and JCB machines, leading to closure of traffic moving towards Prabhadevi. However, the traffic movement from Prabhadevi to Parel is functional as usual.
