This paper reported a massive, mobile rally of fisherfolk that wound its way inside Worli village. The gathering that called for climate action and social change was a show of strength from the Koli community. The fisherfolk, the ones that put the fish into your curry, were protesting, what they call, some design of the Coastal Road.

They claimed pillars for the road must be 200 metres apart and not 60 metres as proposed, as only if the former distance is maintained that boats could navigate safely. They said there has been considerable loss to the fishing community with this project, and the authorities must now see that the design, at least, will do the least harm to fishing.
