Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray was able to resolve the problems of fisherwomen from Koli community within 24 hours. Some fisherwomen earlier gathered outside Thackeray residence ‘Krishna Kunj’ to demand solution regarding illegal fishing business being carried out.
On Monday, fisherwomen from Koli community in Mumbai gathered outside Thackeray’s residence and raised the issue of people illegally encroaching their space in the fish markets in Dongri. They said that there was no space left for locals to resume their business on a daily basis.
Thackeray stepped outside his house to meet the fisherwomen and listened to their problems. The fisherwomen had come to meet Thackeray and local MNS chief Sanjay Naik.
After the meeting, Thackeray instructed Naik to clear the area for fisherwomen from Koli community to carry out their business. The encroachment by outsiders in the fish market had affected the business of the Koli community. Therefore, a delegation had come to meet the MNS chief at his residence.
With no business or source of income for many months, men and women from the fishing communities have resumed work. As many returned to their hometown for some months, other needy locals took advantage of the opportunity and started a retail business of selling fish, food and vegetables.
However, MNS was able to clear the area of illegal occupants within 24 hours for fisherwomen from Koli community to carry out their business.
