- Economic & Political Weekly
- 60(2), Jan 11, 2025: p.56-62
Discussing the opposition to Mumbai’s Coastal Road megaproject, particularly by the two fishworker societies of Worli, as a political and legal dispute over the Worli Fishing Zone, this paper delineates the struggle of the Worli fishers to defend their livelihood rights over their fishing commons. The Coastal Regulation Zone, which provided some protection to coastal ecology and fishers’ livelihoods, was weakened, reinterpreted, and circumvented to enable the construction of the project. – Reproduced
