Mumbai’s fish markets were established by Koli women. Today, they’re being squeezed out of them as private redevelopment of markets has taken off.

#BreakingTheNets | Leena Chaudhary, fish vendor, Manthan Plaza, Vakola: The BMC convinced us to redevelop our market and the builder promised great amenities.

They built a 5-story building and made their money but didn’t fulfil a single promise. My income has dropped by 75%.
