Several Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply And Transport (BEST) bus services were on Saturday affected in Lalbaug area of Mumbai due to heavy traffic ahead of the Ganeshotsav 2024 procession in the area, the officials said.

They said that due to the Ganpati festival celebrations at Lalbaug, a large number of devotees have gathered which is likely to cause traffic congestion in the area. Starting from 2:30 PM, buses operating on routes 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 15, 19, 22, and 51, which typically head towards Byculla, will be redirected over the Lalbaug bridge.
