Speaking for a group of protesters, Shrikant V from the Koli community said, “We are not against the Coastal Road per se, but we are against its design. It has pillars that are to be placed 60 m apart. Boats cannot navigate and may dash against the pillars"

The fisherfolk of Mumbai, also known as Kolis, flexed their collective muscle to make it a Sunday morning with a difference. While the rest of the city may have enjoyed their fish and chips with beer on a lazy Sunday, the community, which brings that fish to your doorstep, undertook a long march inside Worli village located at one end of the Bandra Worli Sea Link (BWSL).
The Akhil Koli Samaj Va Sanskriti Samvardhan Sanghatana, Worli Koliwada Nakhava Matsya Vyavsay Sahakari Society and other groups called the rally for social justice and climate action.
