The Mumbai police’s traffic department has implemented temporary traffic restrictions on southbound routes ahead of the Maharashtra government’s swearing-in ceremony at Azad Maidan on December 5.  Security measures have been heightened, as Chief Minister-elect Devendra Fadnavis and other dignitaries are set to take the oath at 5.30 pm. A large crowd is expected, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah also attending the event. 

Due to anticipated traffic congestion, temporary restrictions have been imposed across south Mumbai. The no-entry and alternate routes are as follows:
 
1. Mahapalika Marg: Traffic will be prohibited from the CSMT junction to Vasudev Balwant Phadke Chowk (Metro Junction) in both directions. 
Alternate route: L T Marg - Chakala Junction—right turn—D N Road—CSMT Junction—towards the desired destination.
