The presence of traffic marshals in front of the school has kept its buses, taxis and other vehicles moving
Due to the presence of traffic personnel around the school, four wheelers are not allowed to stop in front of its gate, which is exactly at the turn towards Dadar station. As the spot is always busy since it is a market area, there is hardly any space to walk.
There are several popular locations in and around Dadar that pull in the crowds such as the Siddhivinayak temple; the proximity of the school to the station also keeps the area near it busy. Parents and locals pointed out that on Tuesdays the traffic and crowds increase. Many people walk on Tuesday from the station to the temple. When this happens at the same time as the school leaving hours, the area gets crowded.
Major Problems
. Buses parked outside the school after it is over
. Regular heavy traffic around Dadar station that adds to the problems of parents
. Hawkers thronging the footpath outside school
