The Mumbai traffic police has issued certain restrictions and route changes in the Dadar-Shivaji Park area for the 66th death anniversary of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. The anniversary falls on Tuesday December 6, with his followers congregating at Shivaji Park to commemorate the day at Chaitya Bhoomi. The followers are expected to start arriving by Sunday, December 4 and stay on till December 7. Attendance this time is expected to be robust, post two years of Covid-19.

Tarun Bhansali, Dadar resident who uses the Shivaji Park space daily, walking at the Park, going to his workspace and playing volleyball near the Mahatma Gandhi swimming pool, opined that clarity is key. “I welcome all Ambedkar followers to Shivaji Park. I think greater clarity from the time they disembark at Dadar station, to go towards the maidan and then Chaitya Bhoomi is important. There is confusion because followers are at times, not very clear where to go. There will be first-timers too, who are going to be quite lost as they arrive in the city.”
