Central Mumbai Ward Profiles Lay Bare Civic Breakdowns Ahead of 2026 BMC Polls

The latest ward-by-ward coverage spotlights unresolved infrastructure failures shaping voter priorities.

Overview

  • Fresh reports on E ward detail dense pagadi-era housing, narrow lanes, scant parking and mostly unstarted road concreting, with 2017 results showing BJPShiv Sena gains even as Congress and allies held four of seven seats.
  • D ward’s VIP enclaves sit beside aging neighborhoods struggling with low water pressure, poor footpaths, parking shortages and landslide-prone spots, with residents flagging traffic on BG Kher Marg and long-delayed pedestrian fixes on Nepean Sea Road.
  • G/North faces chronic congestion around Dadar station, hawker encroachments, dust issues near Shivaji Park and fragile basics in Dharavi, as the redevelopment push proceeds with resident concerns over eligibility and services.
  • B and C wards remain the smallest by representation yet heavily crowded, with encroachments, unauthorised construction, dilapidated buildings and recurring collapse risks, alongside distinct political-demographic splits across the two wards.
  • Local leaders cite fixes in the pipeline, including an MMRDA tunnel linking the Eastern Freeway to the coastal road, a proposed parking plaza and night-only loading in busy market belts, while SBUT says about 800 families have taken possession with more expected after January 2026.
