The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will appoint the Tata Institute of Social Sciences to draft a compensation policy for the fisherfolk of Worli who are affected due to the Coastal Road. A study for the same is supposed to be conducted within 9 months and the cost to draft a compensation policy is Rs 1.50 crore. A fisherfolk union has alleged that an assurance of compensation is not in line with their primary demand of a redesign in the road. 

More than 45 per cent of the work of the 10.58 km long coastal road is now complete. After strong opposition from the fisherfolk in Worli Koliwada, the BMC decided to appoint a committee for a one-time compensation. As per the proposal to the standing committee which will come for the discussion on Tuesday, the BMC will appoint TISS to make a draft for compensation.
