Summary:
“From Lotus Jetty (at Haji Ali), at least 25 fishing boats are operating, but now 85 per cent of the land is being reclaimed. It adds that there is no exit point to the sea for boats at Priyadarshini Park. In all, the civic body has proposed reclamation of 91 hectares for the 9.96-km eight-lane coastal road project from Marine Lines (Princess Street Flyover) to Worli end of Sea-Link. Ashish Rana, a fisherman from Priyadarshini Park area had filed a complaint with the BMC after his fishing activity was affected. Hence, this centre will be of no use for fishing activities and the livelihood of these fishermen will be deprived,” the report states..
