The ongoing demolition of the Chatrapati Shivaji Market near CSMT has riled fish traders and fisherwomen who have alleged that the BMC has not given them another space. The structure is being razed as part of a redevelopment plan that was in limbo for the past six years.
Following the collapse of a building at Dockyard road where municipal employees and their families had lost their lives, the market was taken up for demolition in 2014. While four floors of the building were pulled down, the ground floor and the basement were left out. For the past four days, the remaining structure is being demolished.
