Mayor Ritu Tawde recently dismissed rumours with reference to an alleged ban on fish cutting in Mumbai’s fish markets and assured the Koli community that no such restrictions had been imposed by the BMC. The clarification came as there were rumours about possible restrictions on fish-cutting activities at local markets.

Reports said the mayor took to ‘X’(Twitter) to say she visited the fish market in Vakola, spoke to Kolis and assured them that there are no restrictions on fish cutting in any fish market across Mumbai.
