The fisherfolk of Worli Koliwada, whose livelihood was affected by the Coastal Road work, said the BMC had assured to finalise the compensation for the community by December. With 17 days left for the deadline to end, the community members are hoping the civic body will stick to its word.

The construction of Coastal Road started in 2018, at least two years after the planning was done. However, the BMC did not start the process for compensating the fishing community for the loss of their livelihood for the duration of the work.
