MUMBAI: BMC on Monday demolished a fresh water fish market at Dadar’s Senapati Bapat Marg. It had around 40 vendors who were shifted to Airoli in Navi Mumbai.
Some have been given shops to sell fish at the civic market in Marol. Those who refused to shift to Marol said they would sell fish outside the market in Dadar. The market was set up around 30 years back.
“We had issued notices to all vendors. There were 37 official fish-sellers; 27 have been allocated shops in Airoli and 10 were given space at a market in Marol. Due process was followed and the market was demolished. There will be major relief to traffic on Senapati Bapat Marg and more space for the flower market,” said Kiran Dighavkar, assistant municipal commissioner (G-North).
