The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has demolished the toilet of a fish market along the Bellasis Bridge at Mumbai Central. The more than 50-year-old fish market will also be removed to expand the new bridge.

“When BMC's D ward issued a notice to shopkeepers near the bridge, we met civic officials and got to know that our fish market which has been around for three generations, was also set to be removed for the expansion of the bridge,” said Ranjana Worlikar, a fish seller from the market who claimed that civic authorities are not keeping them informed of the developments. “Last week, BMC demolished the toilet that we used. There are mostly women working at the market and it is impossible to work without the toilet as we leave our houses at 5 am.”
