Parents and a local NGO have raised concerns over severe overcrowding at RC Mahim Municipal (Urdu) School after students from multiple civic-run schools were shifted there. They claim the increased student population is creating significant inconvenience and affecting the quality of education.

However, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials have clarified that the relocation is temporary, citing ongoing repair and reconstruction work at the students’ original school buildings. According to locals, the BMC merged students from four different civic schools, including one from Mahim West’s Cadell Road, two from Mori Road, and another from a separate area, into RC Mahim Municipal School.
