Standoff at Worli site as fishermen stop construction work again
TWO MONTHS after the coastal road interchange construction resumed at the Worli site, the Cleveland Bunder fishermen have once again stopped work.
On Monday, after no response from the Mumbai civic body to the independent study regarding the navigation span submitted by them on February 24, the protest resumed at the Worli end of the site.
Fishing boats from the bunder in Worli Koliwada surrounded the jetty and refused to leave. The stand-off between the fishermen and the officials continued through the day. In a video released by the fishermen on Monday, Nitesh Patil of the Worli Koliwada Nakhwa Matsya Vyavsay Sahakari Society Limited said, “We will continue with the protest until our demands are met.
