Coastal road construction: Aaditya holds meeting, Worli fisherfolk say no resolution yet
TWO months since the construction of the Coastal Road interchange at Worli was stopped by protesting fishermen, Environment Minister and local MLA Aaditya Thackeray held a virtual meeting with the community on Thursday.
Fisheries minister Aslam Shaikh, Industry Minister Subhash Desai, the BMC commissioner and officials were also present.
Calling the meeting “misleading”, the fisherfolk said the issue of navigation of their boats remained unresolved.
They also said that the work on the interchange should not commence till Aaditya Thackeray visits the site to understand the issue. Since October last year, fisherfolk have prevented the construction of an interchange that will connect the Coastal Road to the existing Bandra-Worli Sea Link.
