The traffic is being closed for four hours on Sunday morning to allow local residents to participate in activities such as yoga, walks, cycling, skating, and various games on the streets.

The traffic restrictions will be implemented mainly in six locations, Marine drive, Linking Road, Mindspace, Carter Road, Mulund and BKC.

The initiative, 'Sunday Street', is aimed at encouraging Mumbaikars to step out of their homes with their near and dear ones to relax and engage in fun, sporting and wellness activities on the streets, police said.

Various stretches in the city and its suburbs will be thrown open for limited hours on Sundays for the exclusive use of citizens so that they can engage in outdoor activities with their children, other family members and friends, an official said.
