The areas of Andheri, Jogeshwari, and Vile Parle were divided into two densely populated wards of K East and West until October 2024, when the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) carved out the K North ward, comprising Jogeshwari, Marol, and MIDC, from areas under the densely populated K East ward to better manage amenities. 

The K North ward became the 26th administrative ward in Mumbai, after P East, and its office, located in a BMC market building in Poonam Nagar, was inaugurated by then-Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Today, this ward is populated by approximately eight lakh people, according to estimates from the civic body.
