Mumbai's historic Sassoon Docks gets a makeover

<p>The historic fishing area has been given a makeover. But let's hope that it's not a temporary one</p>

Listen to this article :

A long line of warehouses lie in a state of disrepair in one corner of Sassoon Docks, next to where the fishermen anchor their boats after the morning's catch. They were used to store sundry goods like cotton and hemp around 1910, with the Koli community later taking over to clean the piles of fish that constitute their bread and butter. Today, however, most of them are filled with nothing but the sea-washed sands of time. They tower over the other structures around them as an insignia to an industrial past that made the city what it is in modern times.
