No-parking imposed near Armed Police Marol headquarters for recruitment tests until April 10
The Mumbai Police have imposed temporary no-parking restrictions on key stretches near the Armed Police Headquarters at Marol in Andheri East due to the ongoing police recruitment field tests.
According to a notification issued by the office of the deputy commissioner of police (eastern suburbs), traffic, the restrictions have been enforced in view of heavy vehicle congestion outside the Armed Police Marol headquarters during the 2024–2025 recruitment process for Mumbai Police Constable and Police Constable (Band), including prison police posts.
Authorities said candidates and their relatives have been parking vehicles in large numbers along the adjoining roads, causing inconvenience and obstruction to movement. Residents of the area have also been affected due to excessive roadside parking.
To prevent traffic disruption and inconvenience, the road stretch from Marol Headquarters Main Gate to Kanakia Gate on the Aarey approach road, and the stretch from L&T Society to Een Guest House on the Marol Maroshi approach road, have been declared “No Parking” zones on both sides.
The order, issued under Section 115 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, will remain in force from February 15 to April 10, 2026.
However, the restriction will not apply to ambulances, police vehicles, fire brigade vehicles and other essential service vehicles.
The notification has been issued by Deputy Commissioner of Police (Eastern Suburbs), Traffic, Pradeep Chavan, and will remain effective until completion of the recruitment field tests.
