Fishermen protest against plan to shift them from Mumbai's Crawford Market

Nearly 1,200 fishermen and representatives of the Koli community staged a protest outside the BMC headquarters

Several shops in Mumbai's Crawford market gutted; fire now doused

Fire officials took almost three hours to douse the flames; none injured.

One person identified as Bilal Mohd Hanif Shaikh (29) was arrested for illegal wildlife trade.

The incident took place at around 10.50 in the morning on Monday.

The blaze erupted around 10.50 am at the shopping centre located behind a mosque and spread rapidly in the complex, the official said.

After years of restoration, the iconic Flora Fountain will soon be open for public viewing.

City architects and BMC are restoring drinking water fountains that dot the stretch from Colaba to Masjid Bandar.

The court suggested that while the measures were to be implemented by the traffic department, the BMC should also be roped in.

“It is one of the iconic heritage structures of the city and needs to be conserved properly,” said Pramod Rane from Lower Parel.

The court also observed that there are hardly any footpaths for pedestrians to walk.
