For the fifth year in a row, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced restrictions for the 12 railway crossing bridges during the Ganpati procession. The BMC has declared a list of the bridges in anticipation of the huge turnout of people during the Ganeshotsav processions. BMC has appealed to citizens not to dance on these bridges.

In 2019, BMC had first announced restrictions on overcrowding on 13 bridges. According to a BMC official, repair work on some bridges has started, and work on the other bridges will commence soon. “These are not completely dilapidated bridges. But as a precautionary measure, we have appealed to the citizens not to use the sound system on the bridge and stop on the bridge for a long time,” the official said.
