As BMC elections near, mid-day looks at the P North, South, and East wards, characterised by coastal areas, green zones, and business hubs

Among the youngest wards in Mumbai, the P East ward, comprising Goregaon and Malad, was formed just two years ago by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), by dividing the densely populated P North ward into two. It was also decided to rename the P North ward to P West, once the P East ward office became fully operational.

The P North ward then had a population of approximately 12 lakh people, and was the largest administrative ward in the city. Despite the split of P North ward, this area continues to remain the most populated area in Mumbai, along with the areas of Andheri and Vile Parle, with a high demand for residential spaces in new and upcoming high-rise buildings.

P North also records a large number of floating population per day due to the business centres of NESCO and Nirlon Knowledge Park along the Western Express Highway, leading to traffic snarls during peak hours, apart from the notorious waterlogging spot of the Malad Subway that falls in the P North ward.
While there are a few open spaces in the area, part of Aarey Milk Colony falls under P South ward, offering respite to Mumbaikars in terms of clean air.
