Overview
- The civic body reopened the Mahim seafront plaza with stalls now operated by trained women’s self-help groups serving fresh seafood.
- Improvements include repaired and sanitised stalls, coordinated repainting of nearby buildings, decorative lighting, ample seating, selfie points, and live Koli music.
- Municipal commissioner Bhushan Gagrani and additional commissioner Dr. Ashwini Joshi led the effort, with the G North ward handling upgrades and vendor support.
- Officials say earlier allocation disputes and political interference were resolved by prioritising local fisherwomen, following intermittent shutdowns and monsoon closures.
- One report says the model has been extended with additional seafood plazas at Worli Koliwada and Khar Danda.
