Navi Mumbai Traffic Police Restricts Heavy Vehicles on October 5 During PM Modi’s Visit

Navi Mumbai, 4th October 2024: The Navi Mumbai Traffic Police has announced a restriction on the entry, movement, and parking of all heavy vehicles and goods transport within the Navi Mumbai Police Commissionerate on October 5, 2024, from 12:01 AM to 11:59 PM.

Heavy vehicles travelling from Navi Mumbai to Thane will also be restricted during this time to ensure smooth traffic flow in Thane, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be visiting Kasarvadavali on October 5.

In preparation for the visit, the Thane Police have already implemented several traffic control measures. The Commissioner of Police, Thane, has issued an order limiting the movement of heavy vehicles within the Thane City Traffic Department’s jurisdiction due to the anticipated presence of dignitaries and large crowds.

To minimize disruptions, heavy vehicles travelling from Navi Mumbai to Gujarat or Nashik will be redirected to alternate routes, such as the Karjat-Murbad-Shahapur-Nashik route and the Atgaon-Abitghar-Wada-Pali-Vikramgad-Manor-Ten Naka route.

This decision is especially significant given the ongoing Navratri festival, which is expected to increase vehicle traffic returning to Navi Mumbai from Pune, Konkan, and Goa. Additional measures will also be implemented to maintain smoother traffic flow within the Navi Mumbai Traffic Department’s jurisdiction.

Entry Ban Details:

On October 5, 2024, from 12:01 AM to 11:59 PM, heavy vehicles and goods transport will be completely prohibited from entering, moving, or parking on city roads within the Navi Mumbai Police Commissionerate.

Alternative Routes:

1. JNPT Junction – Karjat – Murbad – Shahapur – Kasara – Igatpuri route towards Nashik.
2. JNPT Junction – Karjat – Murbad – Shahapur – Wada – Manor Toll Naka route towards Gujarat.
3. JNPT – Pune Express Highway – Chakan – Nagar – Nashik Highway route towards the intended destination.

These traffic restrictions will not apply to vehicles transporting essential goods, police vehicles, fire brigades, ambulances, passenger buses, and other vehicles providing essential services. Motorists are advised to plan their journeys accordingly to avoid disruptions during this period.
