Hundreds of fishermen from across Mumbai and neighbouring areas staged a protest outside the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) headquarters in south Mumbai on Wednesday against its plan to relocate fish vendors from the historical Crawford Market.

Devendra Tandel, president of the Akhil Maharashtra Machhimar Kriti Samiti (AMMKS), said nearly 1,200 fishermen and representatives of the Koli community from all over Mumbai and neighbouring areas like Dahanu, Vasai, Thane and Raigad participated in the protest.
