Summary:
MMRDA is the nodal agency for constructing the MTHL corridor that will connect Navi Mumbai and Mumbai through a bridge over the sea. Following the survey, a maximum compensation of Rs 6 lakh each was paid to 1,500 fishermen families living along the upcoming MTHL corridor. They have demanded that in addition to raising the compensation amount, they be made partners in the corridor project. The construction work over the sea has affected more than 15,000 to 20,000 fishermen, who live along the corridor area. Now, a project like MTHL corridor will destroy marine life and fishing will become even more difficult,” he added..
