Locals restrained from walking to Nepean Sea Road; disperse at start point

Protesters gather at Tata Garden
It was a Sunday with a difference, as a clutch of SoBo protestors spent their morning at the Tata Garden at Breach Candy. The locals, most of them from Breach Candy as well as Malabar Hill, were to hold a peaceful protest march against the ostensible lack of transparency and answers on the Coastal Road.
Susie Shah from Malabar Hill, though, claimed, "The police stopped our march at the starting point which was Tata Garden. We had permissions but were restrained." The protestors were from different organisations like 'Save our Shores' and 'Save the Coast, Develop Responsibly'. Some were locals who are not part of a formal group, but were concerned about the ecological impact of the development of the Coastal Road.
