The Thane City Traffic Department has issued a traffic control notification ahead of the Ganga Aarti organised by Kopineshwar Cultural Trust on New Year's Eve. The event, scheduled from 4 pm to 11 pm on December 31, 2025, will take place from Ahilyadevi Ghat to Talavpali, under the jurisdiction of Thane Nagar Traffic Sub-Division.
